Abstract:
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome of unknown aetiology characterised by chronic pain, fatigue, and disturbed sleep. This review presents and summarises the 2020 literature on FM by retrieving all articles indexed in PubMed between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020. The attention of the scientific community towards FM is constantly growing, and this year's review is focused on the diagnostic, pathogenetic and therapeutic aspects of this syndrome. In particular, the treatment options for FM, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological, have been extensively studied.
