As a discipline, preventive medicine has traditionally been described to encompass primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The fields of preventive medicine and public health share the objectives of promoting general health, preventing disease, and applying epidemiologic techniques to these goals. This paper discusses a conceptual approach between the overlap and potential synergies of integrative medicine principles and practices with preventive medicine in the context of these levels of prevention, acknowledging the relative deficiency of research on the effectiveness of practice-based integrative care. One goal of integrative medicine is to make the widest array of appropriate options available to patients, ultimately blurring the boundaries between conventional and complementary medicine. Both disciplines should be subject to rigorous scientific inquiry so that interventions that are efficacious and effective are systematically distinguished from those that are not. Furthermore, principles of preventive medicine can be infused into prevalent practices in complementary and integrative medicine, promoting public health in the context of more-responsible practices. The case is made that an integrative preventive approach involves the responsible use of science with responsiveness to the needs of patients that persist when conclusive data are exhausted, providing a framework to make clinical decisions among integrative therapies.

Perceptions of people living with chronic illness change over time, contributing to health-related stress that necessitates coping skills. Self-efficacy operates as an important cognitive factor in the control of symptoms such as pain, with self-efficacy beliefs helping to explain many of the behaviors and disabilities of those with persistent symptoms (Figure 1). Fibromyalgia (FM) is an idiopathic chronic condition that causes widespread musculoskeletal pain, hyperalgesia and allodynia, affecting 2.10% (a total of 4% female and 2-5% male) of the world's population, 2.3% of the European population, 2.4% of the Spanish population [2,3]. In France, work productivity loss contributed almost 90% of the total costs incurred by patients with FM, with an economic cost of 13000 million euros annually which is around $100 billion in US [2,4,5]. Work disability was found to be 35% in US and Australia and 30% reported in Canada due to FM [6]. FM is more common in women compared to men, with a ratio of 2:1 [7] or 3:1 [8], although other studies say 85%-90% FM patients are middle aged women [9,10]. 30-50% of FM
