Fibromyalgia: Non-Pharmacological Treatments

Fibromyalgia syndrome (also know as FM or FMS), is a chronically painful, frequently disabling disorder. It is thought by some to be the most common rheumatic condition aside from osteoarthritis.

Fibromyalgia accounts for upwards of 15% to 20% of visits to rheumatologists. According to one estimate, 2% of Americans, or about 3.7 million people (including many older women), may have the syndrome.

In the Fibromyalgia: Non-Pharmacological Treatments issue Johns Hopkins specialist Dr. Kevin R. Fontaine reviews the latest and most effective non-pharmacological treatments for this often under-diagnosed and misundersood condition.

Dr. Fontaine, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Rheumatology in the Department of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University, regularly conducts studies looking at the effects of physical activity on fibromyalgia.

In Fibromyalgia: Non-Pharmacological Treatments, you'll get an overview of fibromyalgia, and its suspected causes. You'll also learn what non-pharmacological treatments are currently being used most effectively to relieve the pain of fibromyalgia.
