| Sumario: | Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized as a highly prevalent and disabling syndrome that mainly affects women aged 20 to 55 years. Currently there is no cure for FM, so its treatment aims to reduce symptoms, especially pain, and improve the quality of life and functionality of the individual. Pharmacological treatments have not been effective in this population, therefore, the need for complementary therapies in FM emerges. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the state of the art about the non-pharmacological therapeutic resources used for the clinical picture of FM. This is a systematic literature review using PubMed, Psycinfo, ScienceDirect, LILACS and SciELO databases. After applying the eligibility criteria, 18 articles remained. Interest in studies on the therapeutic resources used in FM has been growing, focusing on the last two years. The most studied therapeutic possibilities in the last five years were resistance and aerobic exercises, hydrotherapy, kinesiotherapy and neuromodulation. It is noteworthy that individual characteristics should be taken into consideration when choosing treatment, due to the heterogeneity of symptoms that may be present in each patient. Finally, it is suggested that the follow-up of these individuals be multiprofessional because the clinical picture of FM is multifactorial. |
