“…This may be due to the nature of FMS, which is in the group of psychosomatic diseases, which often accompanies psychiatric disorders. [23][24][25][26] The limitations of this study were that it was retrospective and the number of patients was relatively small. The other limitations of this study were that the health expenses, disease activities, and functional status of the patients were not evaluated, and the chapthers and their subsections other than ICD-10 code 5 th and 13 th Chapters were not examined.…”

Introduction Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder characterized by chronic pain, with significant medical, psychological, and socio-economic implications. Although there is limited evidence, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) has shown to be effective in improving FM symptoms. An alternative to enhance CBT effectiveness is to incorporate digital therapeutics (DTx). Aim We conducted a pilot study to investigate whether the addition of a DTx intervention ( VirtualPain) to cognitive-behavioral group therapy (CBGT) can reduce pain perception and associated symptoms in patients with FM. Method Ten patients with FM were initially recruited from a public hospital in Barcelona. The treatment consisted of 6 weeks of VirtualPain group sessions and 16 weeks of CBGT. Measures of catastrophizing, self-efficacy, and coping were recorded before, during, and after the protocol. In the DTx sessions, pain intensity was recorded before and after each session. Results The program (DTx and CBGT) showed a significant improvement in pain-related self-efficacy and relaxation measures. Improvement in pain perception was observed only after the DTx intervention. Conclusions This study provides preliminary results regarding the added value of DTx ( VirtualPain) as part of a CBGT for FM. The use of the program has facilitated a significant reduction in pain perception in each of the VirtualPain sessions, which provides further evidence of how this technology can be beneficial for improving FM treatments.
