“…According to Pereira et al (2021), the use of acupuncture proved to be effective in reducing pain in patients with Fibromyalgia, increasing the connection to endogenous antinociceptive-opioid systems and µ-opioid receptors (MORs), in addition to reducing symptoms that are associated with illness such as insomnia and depression. Concomitant to this, measures such as physical exercise and cognitive-behavioral therapy were effective in reducing symptoms.…”

The present study proposes to carry out an approach centered on Fibromyalgia, highlighting its clinic, diagnosis and treatment. For the selection of articles and documents, a search was used with the descriptors "Fibromyalgia", "Diagnosis", and "Signs and Symptoms". The databases used for consultation included UpToDate, Google Scholar, BIREME and DATASUS. Articles and national and international documents from health agencies available from 2005 to 2019 that supported this study were searched. With the aim of expanding knowledge on the subject, since the diagnosis, treatment and control of this rheumatic syndrome that significantly affects the quality of life of patients is of great relevance.

Background: Low-Intensity Laser Therapy (LLLT), applied to trigger points, can be used as adjuvant therapy in the treatment of Fibromyalgia. However, in Brazil, the application of intravascular technique applied transdermally on the radial artery has been widespread as a promising modality of treatment. But as far as we know, its effects are still not fully understood in the treatment of this pathology. Objective: To investigate the scientific evidence for the use of intravascular laser blood irradiation (ILIB) in the treatment of fibromyalgia. Method: this is an integrative literature review (PROSPERO registration CRD42021236744) to identify clinical studies that demonstrate the effect of ILIB on fibromyalgia, without time or language restrictions. Searches were performed and published in 4 databases (PubMed, PeDRO, EMBASE, and Scielo), by 2 independent reviewers, using the descriptors “fibromyalgia” associated with “laser” or “low-level light therapy” or “laser irradiation” ” or “photobiomodulation” or “phototherapy” or “blood irradiation” or “modified ILIB” or “intradermal ILIB”. Results: 3,050 articles were identified. Of these, only 62 met the eligibility criteria, and 32 were duplicates. Thus, 30 studies were rich, but none of them correspond to a clinical study using ILIB in fibromyalgia. However, two secondary sources and four secondary cases were found, with low methodological rigor, but which presented positive positive results, as well as antioxidant and circulatory systemic effects. No substantiated evidence of completion of IB clinical trials in fibromyalgia was identified for their clinical substantiation.
