Brief summary (from the registry)
Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness, and often accompanied by impaired physical functioning, depressed mood, as well as deficits in positive affect (PA).Standard behavioral therapies typically focus on minimizing negative thoughts and emotions associated with pain and yield only modest treatment effects. Efforts are therefore needed to develop more effective psychological treatments for chronic pain by identifying new targets for intervention. The objectives of this Stage I randomized pilot trial are to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and the impact of a previously developed online positive affect (PA) skills intervention -LARKSPUR (Lessons in Affect Regulation to Keep Stress and Pain UndeR control)-in a sample of Hispanic, non-Hispanic other, and non-Hispanic African American patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS).
