WELCOME

The purpose of www.nyfibro.org is to close the gap between research and practice in the treatment of Fibromyalgia. Although emanating from New York State, it is comprised of researchers from across the United States and world who are addressing potential causes and pathways of Fibromyalgia, thus expanding potential treatments. The goal of this expanded view is to improve the lives of patients through integrating the best thinking in Fibromyalgia research into the selection of individualized patient therapies.
