Title: Management of Fibromyalgia for the Primary Care Physician
Speakers: Rachel Vanderberg MD, MS and Jillian Kyle, MD
Session Description: In this session we will explore a multipronged approach to the treatment of fibromyalgia including nonmedication and medication therapies. We will discuss evidence-based nonmedication therapies. We will also review well established medications for fibromyalgia such as SNRIs, TCAs, gabapentinoids and muscle relaxers and explore the evidence behind emerging treatments such as cannabis and low dose naltrexone.
Dr. Kyle and Dr. Vanderberg developed and run an interdisciplinary fibromyalgia program at UPMC that focuses on evidence-based, holistic care of patients with fibromyalgia.
