Understanding Non-Pharmacological Treatments for Fibromyalgia Functional and Well-Being Status: The Role of Literacy
This study underscores that higher education enhances fibromyalgia management and functional outcomes, particularly when combined with non-pharmacological therapies. However, subjective perceptions may not always align with objective improvements, indicating that factors beyond education, such as personal and external influences, also impact disease management. Thus, improving health literacy through educational interventions could further benefit FM patients' quality of life.
