Abstract

Introduction: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is an idiopathic and highly complex rheumatological disease, marked mainly by long-lasting, punctual and anatomically proportional muscle pain. Usually accompanied by lack of sleep, tiredness, psychological disorders, it can be associated with other pathologies and be related to genetic factors and social triggers. Physiotherapy is one of the main conservative treatments for fibromyalgia, which can include various techniques with different objectives, acting on fatigue and sleep quality, depressive symptoms and quality of life. It also acts on relaxation, strengthening, cardiorespiratory endurance and worsening the condition. Objective: This study aims to determine the main effects of physiotherapeutic therapies on adults with fibromyalgia. Methodology: In the search for articles in the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane and BVS, the current text aims to construct a bibliographic review of the literature. The inclusion process included articles published between 2019 and 2024, clinical trials, meta-analyses, controlled trials, free full texts in all available languages. Systematic and literature review studies were not included. Results: By combining all the databases, 2,178 articles were found. Applying the evaluation processes and reading this material resulted in 38 items. The PEDro scale was then applied to help classify the electives. Conclusion: In the adherence to and evaluation of the studies, the importance of physiotherapy for FMS became clear. For example, cardiac and respiratory rehabilitation, virtual reality therapy, massage therapy, electrical resources and supervised interventions relieved the pain of the patients studied. Similarly, the multicomponent FATIGUEWALK method, a protocol based on the Wii™, electrical stimulation, Ba-Duan-Jin and hydrotherapy had an effect on fatigue.
