This may be accompanied by muscle and joint stiffness, sleep and mood disorders, anxiety and depression, cognitive dysfunction, and chronic fatigue. Endemic in developed countries, with a higher prevalence among women than men, and the etiology is still unknown. Diagnosis is made on chronic generalized pain and through the presence of tender points. The objective of this study will be to analyze the efficacy of diathermy on pain in patients with fibromyalgia
