| Sumario: | Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome with main symptoms including pain and tenderness in various parts of the body along
with sleep deprivation, fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and emotional distress. Pranic Healing (PH) is a traditional no-touch healing
technique based on balancing the body’s energy centres or chakras. Here, a case of a 37-year-old female is presented who was
diagnosed with fibromyalgia, with pain, stiffness, and sleep disturbances as major symptoms. These symptoms were measured
using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score. She received distant PH as a complementary therapy to manage chronic pain and
exhaustion symptoms. PH was effective in significantly reducing the severity of fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain by 40% and
stiffness by 60%, and improving the quality of sleep by 60% after eight sessions of PH. Thus, PH has the potential to be used as a
complementary non pharmacological therapy besides conventional pharmacological approaches to manage fibromyalgia.
