In recognition of Fibromyalgia Awareness Month, this presentation from May 14, 2024, Jonathan Hausmann, MD, aims to demystify fibromyalgia, providing an overview of its symptoms and the challenges in diagnosis. He discusses how pain is perceived and processed in the brain in fibromyalgia and other chronic primary pain syndromes. He also reviews the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, including lifestyle modifications, medications, sleep hygiene, and novel therapies shown to decrease pain.
