Patients with this condition usually experience pain when pressure is applied to their muscles or tendons. However, other symptoms are associated with this syndrome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>constant fatigue,<\/li>\n<li>sleep disturbances,<\/li>\n<li>memory and concentration problems,<\/li>\n<li>headaches and irritability,<\/li>\n<li>gastrointestinal problems,<\/li>\n<li>sensitivity to temperature, noise, and sometimes light,<\/li>\n<li>and stiffness throughout the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patients with fibromyalgia are also prone to depression and anxiety. Furthermore, if you suffer from fibromyalgia, symptoms can worsen when you are under stress. Some studies suggest that pain signals are poorly transmitted to nerve cells in people who suffer from this syndrome. The brain fails to understand the message induced by recurring and sometimes chronic pain.<\/p>\n<p>Although studies have not yet established the causes of fibromyalgia, various factors are linked to the development of the disease. The first is age, as individuals aged 20 to 50 are more likely to suffer from fibromyalgia than other demographics. The second is gender, as research has shown that 90% of patients with this syndrome are women. Next is family history, which may increase the risk of developing the disease. Finally, individuals with a rheumatic disease and those who have been exposed to stress or a traumatic event are likely to be more prone to developing fibromyalgia.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5c40612c {margin-top: 30px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5c40612c\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1560977251662{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-69d2a5c406175\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"background-color: #ffffff;padding-top: 105px;padding-bottom: 80px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-69d2a5c406175\")); }<\/script><div class=\"fullwidth-block-inner\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5c4061fe {margin-top: 20px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5c4061fe\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Diagnostic evaluation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"clearboth\"><\/div><style>#thegem-divider-69d2a5c406242 {margin-top: 40px !important;}<\/style><div id=\"thegem-divider-69d2a5c406242\" class=\"gem-divider  \" style=\"\" ><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;ptext&#8221;]A healthcare professional makes the diagnosis of a condition like fibromyalgia. The doctor reviews the patient&#8217;s history and performs a physical examination, X-rays, and blood tests. Patients must generally wait nearly five years to receive a precise diagnosis. There is no treatment to cure fibromyalgia. However, with the help of their doctors, patients living with this disease learn to relieve their symptoms. Managing the person&#8217;s condition involves engaging in physical activity to reduce pain and sleep disturbances and a therapeutic process to learn to manage pain and associated thoughts-emotions.<\/p>\n<p>At Neuroperforma, we recommend neurofeedback as a treatment. Studies have shown its positive effects on chronic pain caused by fibromyalgia. A high number of sessions (around twenty) can improve sleep quality, as well as better control anxiety, depressive states, and pain intensity.[\/vc_column_text]<\/div><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; background_position_desktop=&#8221;right top&#8221; background_position_mobile=&#8221;center top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1714969048340{margin-bottom: 0px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; custom_css_code=&#8221;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&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710838889519{padding-top: 110px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;}&#8221; tablet_padding_top=&#8221;80&#8243; tablet_padding_bottom=&#8221;90&#8243; mobile_padding_top=&#8221;60&#8243; mobile_padding_bottom=&#8221;70&#8243;]<div class=\"thegem-te-heading thegem-custom-69d2a5c4064df2865\" ><div id=\"thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c\" class=\"thegem-heading title-h1 vc_custom_1714970865759\" style=\"text-align: center;\" ><span>FAQ<\/span><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c {margin: 0;}#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;}#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c > * {justify-content: center;}#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c {letter-spacing: 0px;}#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c, #thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c .light {text-transform: none;}#thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c a:hover, #thegem-heading-69d2a5c40647c a:hover span.colored {color: var(--thegem-to-menu-level1-color-hover, #00BCD4) !important;}<\/style><\/div><style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-te-heading.thegem-custom-69d2a5c4064df2865{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-te-heading.thegem-custom-69d2a5c4064df2865{display: block!important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px) {.thegem-te-heading.thegem-custom-69d2a5c4064df2865{position: relative !important;}}@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.thegem-te-heading.thegem-custom-69d2a5c4064df2865{position: relative !important;}}<\/style>[vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710838833298{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-right: 21px !important;padding-left: 21px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner thegem_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.11)&#8221; thegem_shaow_vertical=&#8221;0&#8243; thegem_shaow_blur=&#8221;29.5&#8243; thegem_shaow_spread=&#8221;0&#8243; thegem_enable_shadow=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1710839067482{padding-top: 55px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 30px !important;}&#8221; tablet_padding_left=&#8221;42&#8243; tablet_padding_right=&#8221;42&#8243; mobile_padding_top=&#8221;35&#8243; mobile_padding_bottom=&#8221;15&#8243; mobile_padding_left=&#8221;30&#8243; mobile_padding_right=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_tta_accordion style=&#8221;simple_solid&#8221; c_position=&#8221;right&#8221; active_section=&#8221;1&#8243; thegem_top_spacing=&#8221;15&#8243; thegem_bottom_spacing=&#8221;40&#8243; thegem_separator_color=&#8221;#dcdddd&#8221; el_class=&#8221;custom-accordion&#8221;][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What are the traditional treatments for fibromyalgia?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1710837797777-c2934a04-938b97f4-0a6303ff-5de6&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While medicine has no official treatment to cure fibromyalgia, regular physical exercise proves beneficial.
