Overview

In The Neuroscience and Endocrinology of Fibromyalgia, experts in pain, neuroendocrine function, and sleep research discuss advances in their areas. You?ll discover information that increases your awareness regarding new findings in clinical and basic research into chronic pain, neuroendocrine function, and sleep.The Neuroscience and Endocrinology of Fibromyalgia: Second National Institutes of Health Fibromyalgia Conference focuses on three major areas of neuroscience: pain, neuroendocrine function, and sleep to further our knowledge on this disease and move toward a cure. It is a complete summarization of the information that was presented at the second National Institutes of Health [NIH] Conference on Fibromyalgia Syndrome [FMS] that will stimulate your medical curiosity. There is no doubt that the impact of this information will be felt for decades to come as bright young minds, unfamiliar with the biases of the past, bend their combined energies to solve major medical problems, including fibromyalgia. In The Neuroscience and Endocrinology of Fibromyalgia you’ll learn about the rapid advances made by researchers in fields other than rheumatic diseases in studying individual manifestations that are components of FMS. This will increase your awareness of new findings in clinical and basic research into chronic pain, neuroendocrine function, and sleep. From The Neuroscience and Endocrinology of Fibromyalgia, you’ll find the latest information regarding rheumatic diseases and gain in-depth information on specific topics including: pain mechanisms and physiology spinal cord and brain plasticity animal models of sex differences in pain and analgesia cognitive processes and the pain experience neuronal plasticity after tissue and nerve injury chronic pain neuroendocrine alterations associated with altered sleep, mood, and pain perception stress system plasticity
