Summary:

One of the first books to publish post-FDA approval of the first fibromyalgia drugs, Fibromyalgia utilizes evidence-based research to explore the difficult diagnosis and management of the controversial syndrome of fibromyalgia.

Carefully guiding physicians through the steps leading to diagnosis, this revolutionary source emphasizes targeting the underlying fibromyalgia syndrome rather than treating each of its symptoms individually.

Written by recognized experts, this ground-breaking source:

describes how to diagnose fibromyalgia

advises how to handle patient distress

recommends when to refer a patient to a specialist

discusses how to motivate behavior changes in patients

explores both traditional and up-and-coming pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment methods
