About this trial
The primary goal of this research project is to develop different prediction models in fibromyalgia disease through the application of machine learning techniques and to assess the explainability of the results. As specific objective the research project intends to evaluate the influence of psychosocial variables, fatigue, and sleep quality on the prediction of disease severity in patients with fibromyalgia using an artificial intelligence-based model.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Disease severity
For this purpose, the Spanish validated version of the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) will be used. The questionnaire comprises several components assessing physical, psychological, and social status, as well as overall well-being. It consists of 10 items scored on 0-10 scales, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disease impact and poorer quality of life.
Secondary outcomes
Sleep quality
Sleep quality will be assessed using the Spanish validated version of the Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale (MOS-SS). This instrument consists of 12 items evaluating six sleep domains: sleep disturbance (ability to initiate and maintain sleep), sleep adequacy (sufficiency of sleep to feel rested), sleep quantity (number of hours of sleep), somnolence (daytime sleepiness), snoring, and shortness of breath or headache. A sleep problems index can be derived on a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating greater sleep-related problems.
Fatigue
Fatigue severity will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI). This is a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 20 items. It comprises five subscales that analytically assess general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation, and mental fatigue. The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater fatigue severity.
Pain intensity
It will be measured with a visual analog scale (VAS) of 100 millimeters in length. The subject has to indicate the level of pain he feels, being 0 the absence of pain and 100 the maximum imaginable.
Depression
Depressive symptoms will be assessed using the Spanish adaptation of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). This instrument consists of 21 items designed to measure affective and cognitive status, as well as the signs and symptoms of depression experienced over the preceding two weeks. Total scores range from 0 to 63, where higher scores indicate greater severity.
