We have a difficult time finding news and information about upcoming drug trials related to Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, chronic pain, and related symptoms. If you have any information about websites that cater to this important information, or work for a pharmaceutical company or similar goverment organization that provides information about upcoming drug trials please contact us.
There is still very little known about Fibromyalgia, as such, research is an extremely important tool to uncover the mysteries of this condition. Many leading researchers now believe this is showing signs of being a disease.
More information about research can be found at the National Fibromyalgia Research Association.
Fibromyalgia research, study and awayness has increased over the past decade. While once a relatively knew, unstudied and unknown condition, it's now widely believed to be showing signs of being a disease and as knowledge grows, so to does the available treatments and therapies.
Developments in the understanding of the physiology of Fibromyalgia have led to improvements in treatment. Therapies include prescription medication, behavioral intervention, exercise, and alternative and complementary medicine. Integrated treatment plans incorporating medication, exercise, education and cognitive-behavioral therapy have shown effective in alleviating pain and other related symptoms such as chronic fatigue and depression.
If you have experienced deep radiating pain over your body in excess of three months this is a telltale sign of Fibromyalgia. Lyrica may help with these symptoms. Clinical studies with patients of Fibromyalgia took Lyrica and found they had less fibromyalgia pain, chronic pain and radiating pain as patients that did not take Lyrica. Medicated patients felt better and could do more activities throughout that day compared with patients not taking Lyrica.
