Introduction: The International Association for the Study of Pain defines pain as ”an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage“. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a serious health problem with an increasing incidence, which has socioeconomic implications, with negative individual, family and social impact. This chronic disorder is characterized by widespread pain in combination with tenderness in at least 11 of 18 established tender points. In addition to pain, it includes other important symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disorders, cognitive disturbances and a variety of somatic symptoms. The combination of exercise therapy with the warm water may be an appropriate treatment. The aim of this review was to evaluate the benefits and harms of Balneotherapy in adults with fibromyalgia.
