Therapies for fibromyalgia pain

One of the latest alternative therapies for fibromyalgia is very old: tai chi. This is the ancient Chinese system of gentle movement that helps align your core energy, or "chi." The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is funding a clinical trial of tai chi to see how it affects muscle-skeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, psychological distress, and overall health in people with fibromyalgia. NCCAM is also funding research on acupuncture, especially relating to fibromyalgia pain, and on biofeedback in treating fibromyalgia.
