Fibromyalgia with severe forms of progression in a multidisciplinary therapy setting with emphasis on hyperthermia therapy--a prospective controlled study.INTRODUCTION
 The aim of the study was to investigate a multidisciplinary inpatient treatment with emphasis on hyperthermia therapy by patients with widespread pain.


 One patient group was treated with inclusion of hyperthermia therapy and the other group without.  On admission, no significant difference could be established between control group (CG; multimodal without hyperthermia) and hyperthermia group (HG; multimodal with hyperthermia) (functional capacity, P=0.936).  In addition to the use of complementary medical procedures, integration of hyperthermia in the treatment process is a useful option.
