Treatment for Fibromyalgia
Treatment For Fibromyalgia
Specific treatment for fibromyalgia will be determined by your physician based on:
- Your age, overall health, and medical history
- Extent of the condition
- Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
- Expectation for the course of the condition
- Your opinion or preference
Although there is no cure for fibromyalgia, the disease can often be successfully managed with proper treatment, as fibromyalgia does not cause damage to tissues. Treatment may include:
- Anti-inflammatory medications (to relieve pain and improve sleep)
- Exercise and physical therapy (to stretch muscles and improve cardiovascular fitness)
- Relaxation techniques
- Heat treatments
- Occasional cold applications
- Massage
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
