Abstract

There is no clear specific pathophysiological therapeutic target of fibromyalgia (FM) management. The management of this complex condition has thus perplexed the medical community for many years, and several national and international guidelines have aimed to address this complexity. Pain relieving pharmaceutical medications are generally connected with an assortment of unfriendly reactions, for example, constipation, urinary retention, nausea, sedation, respiratory depression, myoclonus, delirium, sexual dysfunction, and hyperalgesia. The challenge of achieving adequate pain control without adverse side effects further compounds the problem and provides rationale for seeking complementary medicine and non-medicine alternatives.
