Fibromyalgia and Acupuncture



Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas. It affects an estimated 10 million people in the United States alone and can significantly impact their quality of life.


Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote healing. It has been used for centuries to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain.


Several studies have investigated the potential benefits of acupuncture for fibromyalgia. While the results are mixed, some research suggests that acupuncture may provide significant relief for fibromyalgia symptoms.


One study published in the Journal of Pain Research found that acupuncture reduced pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients compared to a control group that received sham acupuncture or no treatment. Another study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that acupuncture improved pain, sleep quality, and overall quality of life in fibromyalgia patients.


It is believed that acupuncture may work by stimulating the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-relieving chemicals. It may also help to regulate the nervous system and reduce inflammation.
