Beyond the Pain: Diagnosing Fibromyalgia

Psychopharmacology Institute
About this episode

In this episode, we dive into the diagnosis of fibromyalgia, a common nociplastic pain syndrome. We explore how to assess widespread pain and associated symptoms and how to understand fibromyalgia as a spectrum rather than a binary diagnosis. How can this nuanced approach help us tailor treatment strategies? 

Faculty: Daniel Clauw, M.D. Host: Richard Seeber, M.D.
