The methodological quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools for non-randomized studies. Results: A total of 6 studies were included. Most results indicated a worsening in the mental health of women with fibromyalgia during the pandemic, and this in turn impacted on physical health. Conclusion: The mental health of women with fibromyalgia was more affected during the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic period than that of non-fibromyalgia sufferers.
