Abstract
ALVAREZ MENA, Mayra Gisell et al. Fibromyalgia. Advances in its treatment. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2 Epub Aug 01, 2019. ISSN 1817-5996.
Introduction:
it is of remarkable significance to emphasize the diffusion of advances in the treatment of fibromyalgia, since in previous decades, it has been reaching ever greater magnitude until becoming today a priority public health problem.
Objective:
To report the advances in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
Development
: Several factors can expose this situation: the high incidence of fibromyalgia in the general adult population; the limited knowledge of its origin and the components that cause it; as well as the non-discovery of curative treatment, the nonconformity of cases and professionals in the current treatment of the syndrome.
Conclusions:
There is no evidence that the pharmacological treatment of fibromyalgia is more effective than the non-pharmacological treatment, hence the remarkable importance of studies such as the present one.
Keywords : fibromyalgia; treatment; reumathology.
