FIBROMYALGIA: AN EXAMINATION OF THE DISORDER AND ITS TREATMENTS
Summary:
This paper examines fibromyalgia, a chronic pain condition, and its treatments, including pharmaceuticals, diet, physical activity, light therapy, and psychotherapy.
Categories
- Pain management: The paper discusses various treatments for managing the chronic pain associated with fibromyalgia, including pharmaceuticals, diet, physical activity, light therapy, and psychotherapy.
- Depression: The paper mentions that fibromyalgia is often accompanied by depression, and discusses treatments such as pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy that can help manage this symptom.
- Obesity and Weight Management: The paper discusses the relationship between obesity and fibromyalgia, and how dietary changes and physical activity can help manage weight and reduce fibromyalgia symptoms.
- Psychiatric Disorders: The paper discusses the psychiatric symptoms that often accompany fibromyalgia, such as anxiety and depression, and how these can be managed through treatments like pharmaceuticals and psychotherapy.
- Lighting Design Considerations: The paper discusses light therapy as a potential treatment for fibromyalgia, though it is not widely used or acknowledged.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The paper discusses how past occurrences of physical and psychological trauma and diagnosis of PTSD can increase the risk of fibromyalgia.
