About

Therapy for fibromyalgia is a well discussed topic in literature, yet not thoroughly evidence-based. Several unicomponent therapies seem to be benificial. Whereas multicomponent and multidisciplinary therapy gains importance and revealing promising results, the investigators aim to combine two well-known therapies in a program for patients with fibromyalgia.

From clinical experience, a high drop-out rate has been stated. All data will be explored to analyse explanatory factors.
