Therapeutic approach to fibromyalgia: a consensus statement on pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment from the neuropathic pain special interest group of the Italian neurological society
Pharmacologic treatment with antiepileptic drugs and antidepressants in patients with co-occurring anxiety and depression, as well as an early nonpharmacologic approach based primarily on physical activity, may be a useful indication in contemporary neurology clinical practice. Non-pharmacological options, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and non-invasive brain stimulation NIBS, could improve evidence of efficacy and lead to relevant improvement in FM-related disability.
