  • Introduction: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome of unknown etiology associated with sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression and other symptoms of functional somatic disorders. It is the second most common rheumatic disease, three times more frequent in females. Numerous therapeutic strategies have been used, both pharmacological and non-pharmacological; however, partly due to the multifactorial etiology, treatment of choice remains uncertain. The crenotherapy, an ancient modality, has growing evidence as to its efficacy in this clinical entity.
