Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Fibromyalgia remains one of the most common and enigmatic musculoskeletal disorders among patients with pain and, until recently, few effective treatments have been discovered. This review will briefly consider the rationale supporting traditional treatment options and their efficacy, including the role of exercise and pharmacotherapy. Juxtaposed with these common approaches to relieve fibromyalgia pain and fatigue are the promising new medications that are being developed, such as pregabalin, milnacipran, duloxetine, sodium oxybate, ropinirole and pramipexole. Outcomes from recent randomized trials will be reviewed and compared. |
