Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical syndrome that causes chronic widespread pain, accompanied by fatigue, awakening unrefreshed, and cognitive symptoms. Other symptoms can include headaches, lower abdominal pain or cramps, and depression.[9] People with fibromyalgia can also experience insomnia[10] and general hypersensitivity.[11][12] The causes of fibromyalgia are unknown, with several pathophysiologies proposed.

Fibromyalgia was first defined in 1990, with updated criteria in 2011,[4] 2016,[9] and 2019.[12] Fibromyalgia is estimated to affect 2 to 4% of the population.[13] Women are affected more than men.[4][13] Rates appear similar across areas of the world and among varied cultures.[4]

Symptoms of fibromyalgia are persistent in nearly all patients.[14]

The treatment of fibromyalgia is symptomatic[15] and multidisciplinary.[16] The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology strongly recommends aerobic and strengthening exercise.[16] Weak recommendations are given for mindfulness, psychotherapy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and meditative exercise such as qigong, yoga, and tai chi.[16] The use of medication in the treatment of fibromyalgia is debated,[16][14] although antidepressants can improve quality of life.[17] Other medications commonly considered helpful in managing fibromyalgia include serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants.[18] Q10 coenzyme and vitamin D supplements may reduce pain and improve quality of life.[19]
