Nonpharmacologial Treatment for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a complex syndrome characterized by chronic widespread pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, and cognitive impairment, associated in some cases with anxiety and depression. FM affects quality of life in many aspects and remains a therapeutic challenge. Comprehensive treatment of this condition aims not only to alleviate pain but rather needs a holistic approach to address both physical and psychological symptoms: to treat pain and functional consequences of pain. In this regard, nonpharmacological interventions have been shown to be effective, most of them with low cost and high tolerability.
