This study aims to understand the extent to which levels of meaning of life, religion, depression and perception of pain are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. The research was conducted in Physiotherapy and Rheumatology Department of the University Hospital Lauro Wanderley (HULW) with a sample of 100 female patients suffering from fibromyalgia syndrome and the mean age was 47.82 years (SD = 6.24 ) and range 18-59 years. Initially, we performed diagnostic confirmation of fibromyalgia using the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2010 and 1990. Then the patients answered a set of questionnaires: Sociodemographic, Religious Attitude Scale (RAS - 20), the Meaning of Life Questionnaire (MLQ), the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI - II). The results showed that the sample had an average of 15.01 tender points upon examination. In applying the 2010 ACR criteria Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and the Symptom Severity Scale (SS) showed an average of 11.56 (SD = 2.76) and 9.32 (SD = 1, 62), respectively. The results showed a Functional Capacity association with Embodiment Religious, the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) was negatively associated with the sense of presence, as the BDI-II was positively correlated with the WPI and with the SS. In addition, it tested a theoretical explanatory model grounded in the theory of Viktor Frankl noopsicossomática, the obtained indices suggested the relevance statistically significant model for the sample in question [χ2 / gl = 1.10; GFI = 0.99; AGFI = 0.94; CFI = 0.99 and RMSEA = 0.03 (90% CI = 0.00 to 0.18), pclose = 0.45]. The results were discussed based on noopsicossomática Viktor Frankl, considering the relevance of the meaning of life but also of religion and expression for pain perception. The study contributes to a Better understanding of the influence of religion and the meaning of life in patients with fibromyalgia
