Physical therapy modalities for treating fibromyalgia
Open accessAbstract
Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by generalized chronic musculoskeletal pain, hyperalgesia in specific points, and psychosomatic symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disturbances (waking unrefreshed), anxiety, depression, cognitive dysfunction, headache, and gastrointestinal disorders. Investigations with non-pharmacological therapies, focused on physical therapy, have increased in recent years as alternative therapies for the treatment of fibromyalgia. The purpose of this review is to summarize the main physical therapy modalities used to treat fibromyalgia.

Both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies for FM are generally disappointing, providing very limited benefit to FM patients.
“For what concerns FM, both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies are generally disappointing, providing very limited benefit to FM patients [4,140,155,156].”
From Fibromyalgia pathogenesis explained by a neuroendocrine multistable model (2024) · cites this paper as [156]
The indexed text (labelled Abstract; no page given) says FM has no definitive cure, pharmacological therapy has side effects and a low recommendation level, and some physical therapies yield only small improvements. But it also says physical therapy seems to improve symptoms and reports benefits from several modalities. It does not support the blanket claim that both types of therapy generally provide very limited benefit. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
