For the first time, researchers at the University of Washington will test whether two treatments are better than one for patients with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common and disabling disorder. Currently, no single treatment has been found to be totally effective for all who have FM. The University of Washington’s Fibromyalgia Research Program is currently conducting a study to compare the benefits of combining pharmacological and behavioral health treatments for FM. The need for a study like this stems from the lack of therapies that provide more than modest relief for the estimated 3 to 6 million Americans, mostly women, with the often debilitating disorder.
If you or someone you know may be interested in participating in this study, please contact the Fibromyalgia Research Program at (206)221-1737 or ude.wu|ffehsc#ude.wu|ffehsc (we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any information sent via e-mail).
