Objectives: Explore the role of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation as a non-drug approach in controlling pain in patients with fibromyalgia. Methodology: Data collection was conducted through the following databases: Nursing Database (BDENF), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), PubMed, Latin American Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS). Various types of publications were consulted, including scientific articles, monographs and magazines, with the aim of obtaining relevant information on the topic.Results and Discussions: The treatment process is fundamental in managing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life. Interventions such as therapeutic exercise, physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage, and relaxation techniques have been associated with a significant reduction in pain, improved physical function, and increased overall well-being in individuals with fibromyalgia. Additionally, the multidisciplinary approach to physical medicine and rehabilitation allows for a comprehensive assessment of each patient's needs, allowing for customization of treatment to meet their specific needs. These results highlight the importance of integrating this approach into the fibromyalgia treatment plan, providing patients with a range of therapeutic options that aim to not only manage pain but also promote a better long-term quality of life.Conclusion: In summary, the use of physical medicine and rehabilitation to control pain in fibromyalgia represents a valuable and effective approach to managing this chronic condition.
