Session Summary

The management of fibromyalgia is challenging for healthcare professionals. Although widespread pain is the dominant symptom in fibromyalgia, sleep disturbances and fatigue are common features, which significantly influence a fibromyalgia patient’s quality of life. Moreover, treatment of sleep disturbances in patients with fibromyalgia is different, as current guidelines do not recommend use of typical sedative/hypnotic agents. This session will focus on the treatment of sleep disturbances in fibromyalgia patients.
