PODCAST: Fibromyalgia: New Paradigms in Etiopathogenesis
Fibromyalgia remains a challenging and often misunderstood condition, traditionally viewed through the lens of central sensitisation and chronic pain syndromes. However, emerging evidence is reshaping our understanding of its underlying mechanisms. This webinar will explore exciting new paradigms in fibromyalgia etiopathogenesis, focusing on the roles of immunity, autoimmunity, and small nerve fibre pathology. Cutting-edge research suggests that immune dysregulation and subtle autoimmune phenomena may contribute to symptom development, while pathology in small nerve fibres provides a compelling link between peripheral changes and central pain processing. These evolving insights not only deepen our knowledge of fibromyalgia biology but also open new avenues for diagnosis and targeted therapeutic strategies. Join us as leading experts discuss the latest data, debate key questions, and highlight the future of personalised approaches in fibromyalgia management.
