Intervention(s)
Participants are randomised to one of two groups.

Intervention group: Participants are telephoned and they are called in to the clinic to register them in the Red Sinapsis platform and assign them the access codes, giving them a few instructions for using the system. It is explained that the messages will be taken care of during consultation hours from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., although the patient can use the messenger at the time he wants. To ensure that the patient has no doubts about the management of the platform, a message is sent to those patients who have not been connected to the platform within 15 days of being logged into the system. In these messages they are asked about their doubts or possible connection problems. If no response is received, then participants are contacted by telephone. Through the messages to the patient, information is provided based on the available scientific evidence, correctly documented related to their illness (FM) and the medication they habitually consume, providing data sheets containing the indications, side effects, contraindications and interactions from the same.

Control group: Participants are telephoned and told that they are in the control group and will not be using the Red Sinapsis platform. Participants then continue to receive usual care for the duration of the study.

At baseline, 6 and 12 months, participants in both groups complete a range of questionnaires.
Primary Outcome(s)
1. Perception of health status is assessed using the FIQ and SF-36 questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months
2. Emotional state (anxiety and depression) is assessed using the FIQ and SF-36 questionnaires at baseline, 6 and 12 months
Secondary Outcome(s)
Degree of satisfaction with the platform usage is assessed using a survey designed for the purpose of this study at 12 months (intervention group only).
