Background . The purpose was to analyze the effects of Tai-Chi training in women with fibromyalgia (FM).  Methods . Thirty-two women with FM (mean age, 51.4 ± 6.8 years) attended to Tai-Chi intervention 3 sessions weekly for 28 weeks. The outcome measures were: tenderness, body composition, functional capacity and psychological outcomes (Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ), Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36)).  Results . Patients showed improvements on pain threshold, total number of tender points and algometer score (all  P  < 0.001). The intervention was effective on 6-min walk ( P  = 0.006), back scratch ( P  = 0.002), handgrip strength ( P  = 0.006), chair stand, chair sit & reach, 8 feet up & go and blind flamingo tests (all  P  < 0.001). Tai-Chi group improved the FIQ total score ( P  < 0.001) and six subscales: stiffness ( P  = 0.005), pain, fatigue, morning tiredness, anxiety, and depression (all  P  < 0.001). The intervention was also effective in six SF-36 subscales: bodily pain ( P  = 0.003), vitality ( P  = 0.018), physical functioning, physical role, general health, and mental health (all  P  < 0.001).  Conclusions . A 28-week Tai-Chi intervention showed improvements on pain, functional capacity, symptomatology and psychological outcomes in female FM patients.
