Abstract

Fibromyalgia is a condition of generalized pain and consequent disability. It has a detrimental effect on the patient’s quality of life. The disease is unresponsive towards analgesics and NSAIDs. Treatment with physiotherapy often makes the FM pain worse. No permanent cure is established for the FM. Hence, the main aim of physician should be to improve the functions and give better quality of life rather than pain elimination.In Ayurvedic system of medicine we can correlate fibromyalgia with Mamsagatavata. The present report deals with a case of FM managed by Panchakarma therapy and internal medications. Assessment of patient was done subjectively. Encouraging and astounding results were found in the symptoms of FM.
