The exact mechanisms by which temperature fluctuations affect fibromyalgia are not fully understood, but it is believed that the changes in temperature can trigger the activation of pain receptors and exacerbate pain sensitivity in individuals with fibromyalgia.

Managing chronic pain in relation to temperature fluctuations involves dressing appropriately for the weather, layering clothing to maintain a comfortable body temperature, and using heating pads or ice packs to alleviate pain during temperature changes.
