Millions of people worldwide are afflicted by the complex chronic pain illness known as fibromyalgia. Despite its widespread occurrence, fibromyalgia is difficult to treat and has no known cure. In this review article, we look at the different fibromyalgia therapies that are now accessible, including traditional medical therapy, complementary and alternative therapies, and self-care techniques. The research reveals that the most successful treatment for fibromyalgia symptoms may involve a variety of methods, including both pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological approaches. Exercise, acupuncture, multimodal rehabilitation, mindfulness-based therapies, and yoga have all demonstrated promise in the management of pain, enhancement of general quality of life, and improvement of physical function.
