Fibromyalgia Treatment



The fibromyalgia or the FMS disorder is not very well understood by people at large and hence there are many misconceptions about the conditions and treatment of the disease. In the disorder of fibromyalgia the patient has to undergo muscle pain that is widely distributed in the body and the pain may also occur in some parts of the body as well. There is stiffness of the muscles in fibromylagia. The sufferer has to undergo disturbances in the pattern of his/her sleep. The condition also induces the extreme sensitivity to touch which are also known as tender points. The disease of fibromyalgia doesn’t have a cure yet and is found in 3.4% of women and 0.5 % of men, but the disorder is not contagious, and life threatening. The disease affects individuals who are from the age group of twenty to sixty and women become the mostly hit individuals during their menopause by FMS. The disease is quite complicated and there has not been any cure in sight but the symptoms can be reduced to a considerable level by exercises.

FMS:

Since the FMS is a very poorly documented there are no clearly defined diagnostic criteria and also no laboratory tests are done to detect that anyone has fibromyalgia, one can understand it by its symptoms. Since the nature of the disease is somewhat difficult the treatment for the patients has to be very individualized because the symptoms differ from patient to patient. The patient with FMS is administered with an exercise programme that best makes the muscles flexible and reduces the stiffness. The patient is prescribed low amounts of anti depressants. The use of acupuncture, psychotherapy, behavior modification therapy, chiropractic care, massage and physical therapy, is also very helpful in the treatment of fibromyalgia. These treatments can be combined with each other or they may separately be administered.

In the treatment of FMS drugs like milnacipran, gabapentin, and pregabalin have proven their effectiveness. The uses of aerobic exercises and activities that strengthen the tender points have had significant improvements in the management of pain and the disturbed sleep. The acupuncture therapy in the treatment of fibromyalgia has also gained much acclaim and the acupuncture sessions also differ from patient to patient and hence every patient needs different frequency of acupuncture sessions. The acupuncture treatment has been found very useful in the FMS disorder.
