Abstract

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic  inflammatory disorder marked  by extensive musculoskeletal  discomfort, exhaustion, unrefreshing  sleep, cognitive impairments, and  various related physical symptoms  that significantly impact the quality  of life of individuals. Significant  advancements have been achieved  in comprehending FM in recent  decades; yet, its pathogenesis  is still only partially addressed.  Contemporary data endorses a  multifactorial framework that  includes central sensitization,  altered pain processing, nervous and  immunomodulatory systems, genetic  susceptibility, and environmental  influences; yet, the specific  contributions and interactions of  these pathways remain inadequately  explored.
