Fibromyalgia (FM) is a condition characterized by chronic generalized pain throughout the body and an increased pain response to pressure stimuli. Symptoms may also include restless legs, fatigue, sleeplessness, increased sensitivity, depression, and trouble with memory.
The cause of Fibromyalgia is unknown, but both genetic and environmental factors are thought to be involved.
Conventional treatments for Fibromyalgia include medications, lifestyle changes, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Stem cell researchers are looking to try and decrease the inflammation associated with Fibromyalgia through the immunosuppressive properties of stem cells and their bioactive components. Currently, stem cell treatment aims to repair nerve damage which may result from this disease.
