Internet-based basic body awareness therapy in fibromyalgia syndrome: A report of three cases
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Previous literature has shown that basic body awareness therapy (BBAT) may be an effective treatment for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). This study constitutes the first case study evaluating internet-based BBAT for FMS. The purpose of this case study was to describe the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of an internet-based BBAT training for a total of 8 weeks in three patients with FMS. The patients underwent a synchronous individual internet-based BBAT training. Outcomes were assessed using Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised, Awareness-Body-Chart, Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), and plasma fibrinogen level. These measures were administered at baseline and after the treatment. Patient satisfaction with the treatment was evaluated using a structured questionnaire. At the post-treatment evaluation, each patient showed improvements in all outcome measures. All patients had clinically significant changes in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised. The SF-MPQ total score in Patients 1 and 3 exceeded the minimal clinically important difference. All patients' pain severity exceeded the minimal clinically important difference for Visual Analogue Scale (SF-MPQ). Besides, we found some benefits in body awareness and the level of dysautonomia. At the end of the treatment, patient satisfaction with the programme was very high. Based on this case study, the application of internet-based BBAT seems feasible and promising for clinical benefits.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
