Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread body pain and presence of tender points. The treatment of fibromyalgia is quite difficult. Drug therapy, patient education, cognitive and behavioral treatment, physical therapy and hydrotherapy applications, exercise and acupuncture practices are the main pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic methods used in the treatment of fibromyalgia. When the randomized controlled studies on the effectiveness of these treatments are evaluated, it is shown that a multimodal treatment approach should be targeted including the combination of patient education, cognitive and behavioral therapy, tricyclic antidepressants such as low dose amitriptyline and cyclobenzaprine, aerobic exercise and strengthening exercise.
Özet
Fibromiyalji, yaygın vücut ağrısı ve hassas noktaların varlığı ile karakterize kronik bir ağrı sendromudur. Tedavisi oldukça zordur. İlaç tedavisi, hastanın eğitimi, bilişsel ve davranışsal tedavi, fizik tedavi ve hidroterapi uygulamaları, egzersiz ve akupunktur başlıca farmakolojik ve nonfarmakolojik tedavi yöntemlerindendir. Bu tedavilerin etkinliği ile ilgili randomize kontrollü çalışmalar değerlendirildiğinde hasta eğitimi, bilişsel-davranışsal tedavi, düşük doz amitriptilin ve siklobenzaprin gibi trisiklik antidepresanlar, aerobik egzersizler, güçlendirici egzersizlerin kombinasyonundan oluşan multimodal bir tedavi yaklaşımının hedeflenmesi gerektiği görülmektedir.
