AB Understanding  of  fibromyalgia  syndrome  (FMS)  has  evolved  over  the  past  20  years.  Once  thought  to  be  related  to  muscular  pain  and  inflammation,  it  is  now  more  widely  understood  to  be  a  largely  noninflammatory,  soft-tissue  pain  condition,  best  separated  from  the  entity  of  myofascial  pain,  with  which  it  has  traditionally  been  grouped.  FMS  also  has  strong  associations  with  other  diseases  that  are  deemed  central  sensitivity  syndromes,  suggesting  that  central  sensitization  plays  an  important  role  in  the  chronic  nature  of  fibromyalgia.1  Because  of  the  complexity  of  the  disorder,  a  multimodal  approach  has  the  most  success  in  effectively  treating  the  physical,  psychological,  and  emotional  aspects  of  FMS.
