About

    Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tender points. It is a complex condition with no known cause, and symptoms can vary widely among individuals. In addition to pain and fatigue, people with fibromyalgia may also experience sleep disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and mood disorders. The exact prevalence of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it is estimated to affect around 2-4% of the population, with a higher prevalence among women. Treatment typically involves a combination of medication, exercise, and lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Research in this area focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of the condition, developing more effective treatments, and improving the diagnosis and management of fibromyalgia.
