Brief summary: Objective: Compare the benefits of Kinesio Taping and Inhibitory Treatment Techniques for Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar Spine in Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS).

Study Design: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted on patients with FMS.

Setting: Clinical setting. Methods: Sixty-four subjects with FMS were randomly assigned to an experimental group receiving kinesio taping and inhibitory treatment techniques, or to a control group for exercises and electrical stimulation therapy.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Diagnosed Fibromyalgia Syndrome.
* Limitation of usual activities due to pain on at least 1 day in the previous 30 days.
* Agreement to attend evening therapy sessions.
* Non-practice of regular physical activity.

Exclusion Criteria:

* A history of surgery.
* The presence of comorbid conditions (e.g., morbid obesity, inflammatory diseases, irritable bowel syndrome and interstitial cystitis).
* A history of whiplash injury.
* Severe physical disability.
* uncontrolled endocrine disorders (e.g., hyperthyroidism, diabetes); 6) illness (e.g., schizophrenia or substance abuse).
* The use of medication other than as-needed analgesics (excluding long-term narcotics).
* Malignancy.
* Psychiatric disorders.
* A score of ≥ 9 points in the Beck depression inventory.
