Abstract
Fibromyalgia FM is a painful syndrome that is more common in women than in men Whether FM has an organic basis or whether it is psychosomatic is debated Of the numerous treatments that have been tried rarely have any been completely effective in relieving the pain of FM Preliminary evidence indicates that melatonin a molecule that is endogenously produced and is available as an overthecounter supplement may be effective in treating the pain associated with this syndrome Although melatonin is commonly known as a sleep aid sleep/wake problems are common in FM sufferers it has a variety of other beneficial effects that may account for its potential benefits in the treatment of FM
