Effects of a motor imagery-based exercise protocol on chronic pain and emotional distress in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome: A pilot study

Integrated psychological support would be desirable in this setting. Further research is needed to explore the aspects investigated in more depth.PMID:34250931 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-200328
