The Fibromyalgia Syndrome is a clinical syndrome of chronic widespread pain and reduced pain thresholds to palpation. The pathophysiology remains unknown, but there is increasing evidence that peripheral and central sensitization cause an amplification of sensory impulses that may alter pain perception in Fibromyalgia Syndrome patients. The multidisciplinary approach for its treatment is very important, against the traditional biomedical approach, because of the high complexity of the patients. Treatment should be directed by the physician, who makes the diagnosis and coordinates the interdisciplinary team, in which the psychologist conducting the initial assessment and cognitive behavioral therapy and the therapist makes the initial assessment and performs comprehensive rehabilitation treatment. In this review, we find the three most important areas of treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome, furthering the pharmacological treatment and physiotherapy, as literature review the most current scientific evidence.
