Once thought to be related to muscular pain and inflammation, it is now more widely understood to be a largely noninflammatory, soft-tissue pain condition, best separated from the entity of myofascial pain, with which it has traditionally been grouped. FMS also has strong associations with other diseases that are deemed central sensitivity syndromes, suggesting that central sensitization plays an important role in the chronic nature of fibromyalgia.1 Because of the complexity of the disorder, a multimodal approach has the most success in effectively treating the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of FMS.
