Interdisciplinary Therapeutic Intervention for People With Persistent Pain

Study Objective The project aims to implement an interdisciplinary therapeutic program for people suffering from persistent pain (specifically fibromyalgia) to optimize their quality of life through a comprehensive approach that addresses physical, psychological, social, and nutritional dimensions. What does the intervention consist of?

Nutritional counseling: Assessment of nutritional status and guidance on anti-inflammatory nutrition, healthy habits, and key micronutrients. Mental health workshops: Strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and stress management to improve emotional regulation and resilience. Methodology and Participation Population: The study is aimed at individuals over 18 years old diagnosed with fibromyalgia who are members of the Fibromyalgia Corporation of the Valparaíso Region.

Safety: The procedures are non-invasive. To minimize any physical or emotional discomfort, the team will implement a gradual progression in exercises and provide emotional support spaces in a safe and supportive environment. Expected Benefits For participants: A significant improvement in their functional and nutritional status and psychosocial well-being is expected, positively impacting their quality of life and perceived pain levels. For the community: The project seeks to ma
