The objective of the study was to determine whether a regimen of 30 Chiropractic adjustments could effectively reduce the intensity of pain, sleep disturbance and fatigue associated with Fibromyalgia.

Before and after questionnaires were used to assess the results of the study. Participants were assessed at the beginning, after15 and 30 adjustments and again, one month after the conclusion of the treatments.

Fifteen women who had suffered from Fibromyalgia for a period extending three months, participated in the study and received 30 treatments.

In order to be considered "responders" to the treatments, a minimum of 50% improvement in pain intensity was needed. After 15 and 30 treatments, 60% of the women (9 participants) were classified as responders and reported a significant reduction of pain intensity and an improvement in quality of sleep and fatigue level.

After 30 adjustments, pain intensity had been reduced by 77.2%; sleep quality improved by 63.5% and fatigue decreased by 74.8%. These outcomes were maintained after one month without treatment. The study suggests that Chiropractic can playa valuable role in the management of Fibromyalgia symptoms.
