Brain Inflammation in Chronic Pain, Migraine and Fibromyalgia

En savoir plus sur le livre

This book addresses chronic pain disorders like migraine and fibromyalgia by revealing that "central sensitization," which heightens the brain's sensitivity to pain signals, is driven by brain inflammation. It identifies three key components of brain inflammation—pain, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction—enabling patients and doctors to better understand and treat these conditions. By applying this knowledge, they can implement effective treatment protocols tailored to individual patient profiles. Previously published as Pain Revolution, this edition emphasizes the significance of brain inflammation in central sensitization. Targeted at both doctors and patients dealing with chronic pain, particularly migraine and fibromyalgia, the book's insights also extend to cluster headaches, myofascial pain syndrome, and complex regional pain syndrome. With extensive citations from biomedical literature, it offers unique perspectives on the causes and solutions for these pain disorders, focusing on central sensitization, glial activation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Dr. Vasquez's Functional Inflammology Protocol aims to address the root causes of pain and inflammation rather than relying on medication alone. The book details essential treatment components and is supplemented with video lectures and tutorials. The digital version will be available in January 2016.
