Effectiveness of the Strain Counterstrain Technique in Women With Fibromyalgia Syndrome

This study evaluates whether strain counterstrain therapy affects pain, fatigue, psychological status, and quality of life in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Participants are assigned to one of three groups: a control group, a conservative treatment group, or a conservative treatment plus strain counterstrain therapy group. Treatment sessions are conducted five days per week for three weeks. Outcomes are assessed before and after the intervention using validated measurement scales. The purpose is to compare changes among groups and determine the effects of adding strain counterstrain therapy to conservative treatment.
