Reducing Sedentary Time in Fibromyalgia (ReSeT-FM): A Feasibility Study
This study evaluates the feasibility of a behavioral intervention designed to replace
sedentary behavior with light physical activity in veterans with Fibromyalgia. The study will
also evaluate the acceptability of the intervention among veterans and intervention effects
on pain and physical function.
sedentary behavior with light physical activity in veterans with Fibromyalgia. The study will
also evaluate the acceptability of the intervention among veterans and intervention effects
on pain and physical function.
Recent research suggests that individuals with Fibromyalgia (FM) who spend more time in
sedentary behavior and less time in light physical activity experience greater clinical pain
and overall impact of FM, irrespective of time spent in moderate to vigorous physical
activity. To date, no studies have investigated the potential impact of reducing sedentary
behavior on key clinical and physical function outcomes in FM. The overall objective of the
pilot project is to design and evaluate the feasibility of an 8-week behavioral intervention
designed to replace sedentary behavior with light physical activity in veterans with FM.
Mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methods will be used to evaluate the behavioral
intervention, which is based on constructs from social cognitive and self-regulatory theories
that consistently identify important drivers of behavior change as: education, goal-setting,
self-monitoring and behavioral prompts to move via an activity tracker and phone app, and
feedback on behavior via weekly meetings.
