NFMCPA Community
The National Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain Association (NFMCPA) advocates for the following priorities:
- Increased funding for research aimed at:
- Determining the mechanisms causing FM and overlapping conditions
- Prevalence studies to determine the magnitude of people suffering with FM and overlapping conditions
- Discovering new treatment options
- Access to comprehensive health care and treatment options
- Recognition of fibromyalgia as a legitimate chronic pain condition deserving of the similar preventive measures and treatment protocol developed for other chronic conditions, such as diabetes
- Increased education of health-care professionals in medical school and required continuing medical education for licensed providers
