📋Overview

Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. It is recognized as a clinical condition involving the central nervous system, where the brain may process pain signals differently than in individuals without the disorder.

This condition often includes cognitive difficulties and mood changes, reflecting its impact on neurological pathways. While older terminology like fibrositis was once common, modern medical understanding focuses on the amplification of sensory signals within the spinal cord and brain.
