Preliminary Outcomes of a Cross‐Site Cognitive–Behavioral and Neuromuscular Integrative Training Intervention for Juvenile Fibromyalgia

Abstract

Adolescents with juvenile FM reported significant improvements in physical function and reduced fear of movement following the intervention. Improvement in physical function was achieved in a shorter time frame than in a prior trial of CBT without an exercise component. Further work is needed to compare the FIT Teens program with existing approaches and determine whether objective changes in exercise participation are achieved.
