Fibromyalgia is defined as a pain regulation disorder and is a type of central sensitization syndrome. It is characterized by widespread pain and sleep disorders. Additional symptoms of fibromyalgia include fatigue, cognitive disturbance, and psychiatric symptoms. Because the etiology of the condition is not well-defined and the clinical symptoms are highly varied, the diagnosis of the disease is difficult.
Furthermore, laboratory investigations are almost always unremarkable. The changing lifestyle and environmental alterations have led to several new disorders of the nervous system. One such disorder is fibromyalgia where the patient’s brain is unable to process the sensation of pain. Considering the increase in the incidence of such disorders, the practitioners must be updated about the latest management modalities.
