From my knowledge and what I learned at the pain rehab center it's the same treatment plan. Fibromyalgia is actually a form of central sensitization . It's the same concept of hypersensitivity. Treatment plans exist of exercise, cognitive behavioral therapy, occupational therapy ,Stress Management, healthy diet, sleep hygiene , mindfulness and meditation, balancing rest with activity to avoid push crash. The PRC advocates for as little medicine as possible especially the addictive kind and treat chronic conditions from more of a holistic point of view where the patient is an active participant in their care hence shifting from placing responsibility on Doctor's medicine procedures treatments that just end up not working or becoming less effective. Some medications do help like nerve medications but the recommendation is to use as minimal as possible. I hope this helps I apologize for punctuation mishaps, I am voice texting as it's easier for me in the moment.
