ABSTRACT

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a frequently encountered syndrome that is charac-terised by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and many other symptoms that impair the quality of life.

Its aetiopathogenesis is still un-clear but, although there is no specific therapy, a number of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are available.

The aim of this review is to describe the most recent findings concerning the diagnosis, aetiopatho-genesis and treatment of FM published between January 2019 and January 2020.

They include the new concept of nociplastic pain, some neuroendocrine and metabolic alterations found in FM patients, and investigations concerning not only novel applications of old drugs, but also, and in particular, complemen-tary therapies, such as the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, ozone therapy and mindfulness-based interventions.

'New' concept of nocioplastic pain. Uh, that's central sensitization and it ain't new in scientific 'new' terms.

"...not only novel applications of old drugs {oooh, exciting!}, but also, and in particular {insert some editing for redundancy}...complementary therapies, such as..."

Mind-f**k therapy....oh, really? Oh, yet another application (insert lovely chimes).

Hyperbaric, now that's easily available 24/7 and cheap

Ozone therapy? Huh? Missed the research on that one.

Complementary therapies (i.e. alternative medicine) is defined as methods that are not ('yet') proven as effective.

'Scuse my tone, please. I'm just coming off of 48 hr of continuous leg muscle spasms (fibro).
