Positive psychology interventions (PPI) represent a promising method to promote resources to better cope with pain. This study aims to describe the rationale fora PPI for fibromyalgia and outline a potential model by which a positive imagery exercise supported by Information and Communication technologies could lead to resilience in chronic pain. We present preliminary data of acceptability and feasibility of the Best Possible Self intervention with online support for clinical patients. In general, larger effect sizes and clinically significant change were found on measures of functional status and depression. An increment in quality of life was observed. This is the first study to provide preliminary evidence for the efficacy of a PPI in fibromyalgia using technologies to enhance self-management.
