About this trial
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a primary chronic pain condition with an estimated prevalence of 3.3% in Chile. It is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and impaired physical function. Although exercise therapy is considered the first-line intervention, barriers to access and poor adherence limit its effectiveness within the public healthcare system. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)- and Computer Vision (CV)-assisted telerehabilitation platform called Rehbody. The aim is to determine whether real-time technology-driven feedback can overcome the limitations of traditional face-to-face rehabilitation models by improving disease impact and functional capacity in Chilean patients with fibromyalgia.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Adults aged 18 years or older, of any sex/gender, with a documented medical diagnosis of fibromyalgia established in primary or secondary healthcare settings according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria (Häuser & Fitzcharles, 2018).

Individuals with access to a compatible electronic device (smartphone, tablet, or computer) and an internet connection required for participation in the telerehabilitation intervention.
Individuals with basic digital literacy skills, defined as the ability to use electronic devices and interact with commonly used applications.
Disqualifiers
Current participation in another structured therapeutic exercise program, whether supervised or unsupervised.
