Treatment Options

Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which are another type of pain reliever, can also be used to treat the symptoms of FM. NSAIDs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Anaprox, Aleve) relieve pain and inflammation to help reduce muscle aches, menstrual cramps, and headaches associated with fibromyalgia.
