Focus on Fibromyalgia Syndrome at Ulster University
The University of Ulster has teamed up with Arthritis Research UK to explore new ways of treating and researching fibromyalgia – a life-crippling disease that affects millions of people worldwide.
Leading researchers and clinicians from across Europe met in Belfast earlier this month to discuss the management of this complex, chronic pain syndrome, which causes untold misery for patients.
Dr Joseph McVeigh, from the Schoolof Health Sciences, in the Centre for Health and Rehabilitation Technologies (CHaRT), at Ulster, said: “Fibromyalgia syndrome causes a huge impact on the lives of sufferers and their families, but unfortunately it is often regarded as a ‘Cinderella’ condition, receiving little research funding or attention.
“This chronic pain condition affects approximately two per cent of the population, with women affected six times more often than men.
Dr McVeigh’s research focuses on improving the quality of life of people with fibromyalgia syndrome. In particular, Dr McVeigh and his colleagues in the Centre for Health and Rehabilitation Technologies, are examining the management of fatigue and sleep dysfunction, which, in addition to pain, are two of the most debilitating aspects of fibromyalgia.
