Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic and rheumatological disease that causes generalized pain by the body, being able to dispose of the person from any activity, even the simple act of sleeping, because of the pains become unbearable. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is one of the options for an indication of acupuncture used as an alternative for the treatment of fibromyalgia and the possibility of offering patient improvement in the quality of life. This research aims to corroborate through a bibliographic review of recent studies and evidence that designates the effectiveness of acupuncture for patients with fibromyalgia. The methods used for this review work were based on the methodology of the experimental factorial planning article: A brief review, published in the journal International Journal of Advanced Engineering Research and Science (IJAERS). Due to the studies done, it was explicit that the treatment for fibromyalgia using acupuncture has great benefits because patients suffering from pain and use this technique as a treatment option make less use of medication, have less frequent crises and, as a result, more quality of life. It is concluded that acupuncture has physiological bases that prove its effectiveness in the treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms, thus becoming another relevant treatment option for patients with FM to increase their quality of life.
