Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a complex medical condition characterised by chronic pain, fatigue and sleep disturbances. It was highlighted that non-restorative sleep aggravated pain perception, establishing a vicious cycle between the two. It was explained that this disease mainly affected adult women and that hypersensitivity to pain was influenced by neurochemical, psychological and emotional factors. The importance of non-pharmacological strategies, such as sleep hygiene, was emphasised, as these have been shown to improve sleep quality, reduce pain and promote emotional well-being. Finally, it was concluded that a biopsychosocial approach was essential for a comprehensive treatment of fibromyalgia, taking into account both the clinical aspects and the subjective experiences of the patient.
