Abstract
La fibromialgia es una enfermedad que se caracteriza por dolores musculoesqueléticas
crónicos generalizados difusos, fatiga persistente, rigidez articular, cefaleas, sueño no
reparador, problemas en la menstruación, cambios en el estado de ánimo y la presencia
de a la presión de 11 de 18 puntos localizados en sitios especificados. El tratamiento de
la Fibromialgia es sintomático, ya que no se conoce la etiología. Los tratamientos van
encaminados básicamente a disminuir el dolor y la fatiga, a mejorar la calidad del sueño
y los niveles de actividad, la adaptación y la calidad de vida de los pacientes. En la
actualidad no existe un tratamiento específico para la Fibromialgia, debido a ello,
muchos pacientes buscan terapias complementarias, como son los masajes terapéuticos.
El objetivo de este proyecto de investigación es buscar evidencias científicas acerca de
la efectividad de los masajes terapéuticos para el tratamiento de la fibromialgia
revisando la literatura actual y estudios existentes en este campo para comprobar los
efectos en el tratamiento y de esta manera poder establecer estrategias para ayudar a
mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente.
