Treatment preferences in fibromyalgia patients: A cross-sectional web-based survey.

Individuals with fibromyalgia reported the use of non-pharmacological and pharmacological treatments in the past but a predominant use of a pharmacological approach overall. Patterns of treatment experienced in the past were differentially related to future preferences. Pharmacological treatment in the past was likely to lead to both pharmacological and non-pharmacological choices in the present. However, non-pharmacological treatment in the past was more likely to be chosen again in the present and future, but unlikely to lead to a pharmacological choice.
