Summary

The prevalence of the fibromyalgia is about 10-15% in the European countries. It is unclear the etiology and pathogenesis of the syndrome. Several factors such as dysfunction of the central and autonomic nervous systems, neurotransmitters, hormones, immune system, external stressors, psychiatric aspects, and others seem to be involved. But the symptom commonly expressed by the people who suffer from it is pain.

The main goal of the present study is to analyse the effect of the kinesiotaping on the pain, comfort and postural position of the patient with fibromyalgia.
