10 Treatments for Fibromyalgia

7. Temperature Treatments

Because so much remains unknown about fibromyalgia, researchers are studying a range of potential treatments. Temperate therapies, though still lacking in evidence, are showing signs of being beneficial for many subjects. One of the most common methods is soaking in warm water to promote circulation, reduce stiffness, and fight inflammation.

Less commonly, some researchers are also testing cold therapies involving cold baths and ice packs to constrict the blood vessels and reduce swelling.
