Abstract:
Fibromyalgia is a common rheumatologic disorder. Societal costs, based on medical expenses, lost wages, lost tax revenue and compensation expenditures, are significant. Diagnosis, dependent primary on subjective patient reports, can be confirmed by mapping alterations in electrical resistance or temperature. The most effective available medication regimens are only moderately effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia and have undesirable side effects. Hypnotic, injection and electroprobe therapy appear reasonable alternatives.
