Although there are many studies evaluating adherence to supervised walking programs in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), there are limited studies evaluating adherence to unsupervised walking programs.
Although there are many studies evaluating adherence to supervised walking programs in patients with fibromyalgia (FM), there are limited studies evaluating adherence to unsupervised walking programs.
Purposes of this study were (1) to assess whether walking as exercise was prescribed by their physiatrist in Turkish women with FM who received pharmacological therapy, (2) to illustrate the frequency of patients who walk regularly as exercise, (3) to clinically compare patients who walk regularly as exercise and those who do not, and (4) to determine factors related to adherence to walking prescriptions.

| Patients who walked regularly for exercise | Walking for exercise was explored according to a specific criterion (walking at least 30 min, in bouts of 15 min, with a small rest between bouts, twice a week, over a minimum of six consecutive weeks) based on previous recommendations. According to this criterion, the patients were divided into 2 groups as those who walked regularly for exercise and those who did not walk regularly for exercise. |

| Visual Analogue Scale | Overall pain intensity over the last 7 days was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale (0 = no pain and 10 = the worst pain you can imagine). | through study completion, an average of one month |
| Pain Catastrophizing Scale | Pain Catastrophizing Scale is made up of 13 items scored on a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (always). The total score is obtained with the sum of the answers, being able to obtain a maximum score of 52. Higher scores in the scale represent a higher tendency to catastrophize. | through study completion, an average of one month |
