Recent Advances in Fibromyalgia Treatment

The monograph by Dr. Lili Yordanova Yosifova, titled Recent Advances in Fibromyalgia Treatment, is dedicated to a current and significant issue—chronic pain syndrome, in particular fibromyalgia. It presents a comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth analytical review of contemporary knowledge about fibromyalgia, a complex and socially significant condition associated with chronic pain. The relevance of this issue is further emphasized by literature data showing that chronic pain accounts for over 50% of specialist medical consultations, with approximately half of patients with musculoskeletal pain found to have fibromyalgia. 

The work covers both the fundamental aspects of the disease (etiology, pathogenesis, and socioepidemiological characteristics) and the latest approaches in diagnosis and treatment. The author skillfully integrates findings from recent clinical, epidemiological, and instrumental studies, including data from neuroimaging, biomarkers, and multidisciplinary therapeutic methods.
