Dr Andrew Holman talks about Fibromyalgia
Dr Andrew Holman spoke about Fibromyalgia on 21st July at 2 p.m, in Weston Education Centre, King’s College London. A report will follow about the event.
Dr Holman has been researching treatment options for fibromyalgia for many years and been instrumental in bringing these for approval in the States. Unfortunately the drugs have not been approved specifically for fibromyalgia in Europe, but the findings from these studies helps in the understanding of the mechanisms involved in producing the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
We are very fortunate to have Andrew researching into fibromyalgia and for giving freely of his time whilst in the UK to update us on current thinking. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
