A clinical case of effective treatment of fibromyalgia in a 58-year-old patient by an interdisciplinary team of neurologists and a psychiatrist-psychotherapist is presented. For 5 years before being hospitalized at the Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (Sechenov University) Clinic of Nervous System Diseases, a patient suffering from widespread chronic pain in the back and extremities was not diagnosed with fibromyalgia, she underwent numerous expensive examinations and various methods of therapy that were not effective, worsened her condition and increased the intensity of the pain syndrome. The establishment of fibromyalgia, the identification of concomitant mental disorders, allowed the use of pharmacotherapy and non-pharmacological methods of treatment (cognitive behavioral therapy, kinesiotherapy), which led to a persistent improvement in the condition, a decrease in pain syndrome during 6 months of follow-up.
