FIBROMYALGIA
Abstract:
Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by central pain syndrome, fatigue and
tenderness to touch. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but is thought to be related to
abnormal levels in certain neuromediators in the brain and changes in the way the central nervous
system (brain, spinal cord) processes the pain messages. Fibromyalgia is the most common cause of
chronic, widespread pain. Taking medication, together with other measures (cognitive behavioural
therapy, lifestyle changes) can help relieving it.
