Os efeitos da meditação mindfulness associados ao tratamento fisioterapêutico em pacientes com fibromialgia

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease that presents different symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, muscle pain, as well as some psychological disorders and mood changes. This disease significantly affects patients' lives, with several treatments being adopted to alleviate pain and improve quality of life as a whole. The objective of the study was to analyze the performance of meditation mindfulness together with physiotherapy for the treatment of patients with fibromyalgia. The study was a systematic literature review, carried out from January to October 2023. For the search and selection of articles, articles from the last 10 years were used, which were extracted from the databases Medline, PubMed, Lilacs, Scielo and EBSCOhost. According to the search, 897 articles were found, of which 887 were excluded because they did not meet the inclusion criteria and were unrelated to the proposed topic. Only 10 articles met all inclusion criteria and were included in the work. Based on the results, it was concluded that mindfulness meditation is an effective treatment alternative for patients with fibromyalgia and chronic pain, reducing physiological symptoms and improving psychological symptoms.
