Résumé

La fibromyalgie se présente à l’heure actuelle comme une situation d’hyperalgésie qui semble répondre à diverses substances agissant sur les voies sérotoninergiques, les récepteurs NMDA ou les canaux calciques. La préparation mentale et physique des patients reste la pierre angulaire du traitement.
