What is Fibromyalgia?

May is Fibromyalgia Awareness Month. This presentation aims to demystify fibromyalgia, providing an overview of its symptoms and the challenges in diagnosis. We will explore how pain is perceived and processed in the brain in fibromyalgia and other chronic primary pain syndromes. We will also review the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including lifestyle modifications, medications, sleep hygiene, and novel therapies shown to decrease pain.

This online program is free and open to Mass General staff, patients, and the general public. No registration needed.
