Description
Are you comfortable with treating patients who have chronic pain? Patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain present considerable challenges in assessment and in selection of effective therapeutic interventions. Many have been to numerous practitioners seeking results unsuccessfully, despite taking many drugs, becoming opioid addicts, and trying a variety of therapies. Some have been misdiagnosed. This course clearly describes the two main categories of chronic pain conditions: fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and myofascial pain syndrome/chronic musculoskeletal pain (MPS). Participants will learn to recognize these syndromes and the co-morbid conditions commonly associated with them. Research evidence will be presented to describe the clinical tests used by medical providers in determining appropriate diagnosis of FMS or MPS. The latest in best practices to manage FMS and MPS is discussed with current evidence-based research. This information is a must for any practitioner who treats patients suffering with chronic FMS or MPS.
