Resumen: El síndrome de fi bromialgia (SFM) es el síndrome de dolor crónico que se encuentra con mayor frecuencia en medicina general. Junto a una miríada de alteraciones inespecífi cas biológicas y sintomáticas, la evidencia sugiere un procesamiento anómalo del dolor a nivel central en ausencia de disfunción periférica y en ausencia de enfermedad. Alteraciones emocionales o psiquiátricas inciden sobre los sistemas nervioso, endocrino e inmune, que explican a través del eje psico-neuro-inmuno-endocrinológico un desequilibrio homeostático que se traduce en forma de disautonomía y disritmia y explica las alteraciones del sistema nervioso vegetativo, del ritmo circadiano, del sueño, hormonales e inmunes y abre un nuevo horizonte de manejo y tratamiento del SFM. Los tratamientos no medicamentosos capaces de equilibrar este triángulo homeostático van desde la terapia de comportamiento de enfoque cognitivo, la hipnoterapia, métodos de biofeedback electromiográfi co, ejercicio físico moderado y acupuntura, sin olvidar una atención especial al restablecimiento del ritmo circadiano y a la mejora de la calidad del sueño.Palabras clave: Síndrome de fi bromialgia, psiconeuroinmunología, alteraciones del sueño, dolor, disautonomía. A psychoneuroimmunological view of fi bromyalgiaAbstract: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FSM) is the chronic pain syndrome most frequently found in general medicine. Along with a myriad unspecifi c biological and symptomatic alterations, the evidence points at anomalous pain processing at a central level, in the absence of peripheral dysfunction or illness. Emotional or psychiatric alterations affect the nervous, endocrine and immune systems which explains, through the psycho-neuro-immune-endocrinologic axis, the homeostatic imbalance that gives rise to dysautonomia and dysrhythmia and fi nally explains alterations of the vegetative nervous system, of the circadian rhythm and sleep, hormonal and immune rhythms, and opens a new horizon as to handling and treatment of FSM. Non-drug treatments, capable of balancing this homeostatic triangle, go from cognitive-behavior therapy to hypnotherapy, forms of electromyographic biofeedback, moderate physical exercise and acupuncture, not forgetting a special attention to re-establishing the circadian rhythm and to improve sleep quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
