Description
Fonseca Silva and co-authors summarize in 2026 the evidence on treating fibromyalgia, the chronic widespread pain disorder that still puzzles medicine. The condition bundles body wide pain with fatigue, broken sleep, foggy thinking, and low mood. It is common worldwide and strikes women far more often than men. Its cause is unsettled, though faulty pain regulation in the central nervous system, a sensitization story, leads current thinking.
Their nonsystematic review covers both drug and nondrug management. Because patients differ so much, care must be holistic and built around the person, mixing treatments rather than sequencing single shots. Education comes first in current recommendations, alongside a full assessment of pain, function, and life context. Drug therapy and nondrug therapy run together from the start in the guidance reviewed. Prompt diagnosis plus honest information, the authors stress, is itself part of the treatment.
