A Physiotherapy-Based Dance Exercise Intervention Can Improve Body Awareness and Reduce Pain Perception But Does Not Affect Kinesiophobia in Women with Fibromyalgia

PBDEI was found to be effective in improving body awareness and reducing pain perception in chronic pain patients. While it had a positive effect on pain, it did not significantly reduce kinesophobia. These findings suggest that dance may be a promising strategy in chronic pain management, offering benefits not only for pain relief but also for enhancing body awareness. Further research with larger sample sizes and extended intervention periods is recommended to confirm these results.

Abstract

PBDEI was found to be effective in improving body awareness and reducing pain perception in chronic pain patients. While it had a positive effect on pain, it did not significantly reduce kinesophobia. These findings suggest that dance may be a promising strategy in chronic pain management, offering benefits not only for pain relief but also for enhancing body awareness. Further research with larger sample sizes and extended intervention periods is recommended to confirm these results.
