Abstract
The third most common musculoskeletal disorder is fibromyalgia, which becomes more common as people age. The most common symptoms of fibromyalgia are tiredness, sleep difficulties, persistent pain throughout the body, and functional problems. Etiopathogenesis, diagnostic standards, and classification criteria of this disorder are still up for debate. Despite the development of more reliable diagnostic criteria, a significant proportion of physicians continue to misdiagnose the illness. Familial experiences, emotional-cognitive factors, the mind-body connection, genetic predisposition, and a biopsychological capacity for stress management are some of the numerous variables that each individually contribute to the development of fibromyalgia. In this review, we present a comprehensive, critical assessment of fibromyalgia's burden and diagnosis, taking into account the most recent research, recommendations, and clinical experience. By utilizing clinical expertise and the most recent EULAR criteria for managing fibromyalgia, we want to offer doctors an innovative and useful management workflow that they may utilize in their routine clinical duties. Keywords: fibromyalgia, chronic pain, sleep disturbances, fatigue, autonomic disturbances, regional pain syndromes, tender points.
