1 The worldwide prevalence is approximately 2.7%. It is the most common pain condition and it is the second most frequent rheumatic disorder. Keywords: psychotherapy, pain, repertory grid technique, study protocol, CBT, personal construct therapyДЇibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by the presence of generalized and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Linear mixed models will be used to analyze and to compare the treatment effects of both conditions.

Intention-to-treat and complete case analyses will be performed for the main statistical tests. Participants will be 18- to 70-years-old women with a diagnosis of FM, presenting depressive symptoms evinced by scores above seven in depression items of the HADS-D. Other secondary measures will be applied following the same schedule. The depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-D) will be the primary outcome measure and it will be assessed at baseline, at the end of therapy, and at 6-month follow-up. In each condition participants will attend up to eighteen 1-hr weekly therapy sessions and up to three 1-hr booster sessions during the following 3вЂ“ 5 months after the end of treatment. Methods and Analysis: This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Then, the aim of the study is to test the efficacy of PCT as compared to a well-established treatment in the reduction of depressive symptoms in women with fibromyalgia. One approach that could accomplish this goal might be personal construct therapy (PCT), an idiographic approach that considers identity features and interpersonal meanings as their main target of intervention. The complexity of the disorder requires the consideration of the unique psychological characteristics of each patient to attain good outcomes. In the last decade, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has demonstrated to reduce such depressive symptoms and pain in these patients, but there are still a considerable number of them who do not respond to interventions.
