How can people with fibromyalgia control pain?
Physician: Functional brain studies show that the brain of a person with fibromyalgia is experiencing stress and anxiety along with persistent pain. To adequately treat people with chronic pain conditions, you have to treat not only the pain, but also control the perception of fear, stress and anxiety. Therefore, effective therapy includes exercise, biofeedback and other methods of trying to improve an individual’s perception of themselves, their body and pain in general.
