Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) for fibromyalgia (FM) and compared it to standard treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and FM education, showing that EAET improved overall symptoms, pain, and emotional well-being more than education and had some advantages over CBT.
  • Despite not significantly reducing pain severity compared to education, EAET resulted in greater improvements in widespread pain, physical functioning, cognitive issues, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction, with more patients experiencing significant pain reduction.
  • The findings suggest that EAET is a well-received and potentially effective additional treatment option for fibromyalgia that targets emotional and psychosocial factors.]
