Our Mission: Perform, stimulate and support Fibromyalgia research, impacting on diagnosis, treatment and socio-economic status of people diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.

FibroRes vzw is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization that facilitates fundamental, translational and socio-economic research on Fibromyalgia. In addition, FibroRes intends to influence policy and strategic (politic) decisions that impact on the daily life, diagnosis and treatment of Fibromyalgia subjects. The organisation was established October 26th 2013 and has its registered office in Ghent, Belgium.

Diversity is a key element in the organization, reflected in the experience of the volunteers participating. A great part of the board consists of researchers, albeit in different fields, including medical biotechnology, psychology, medical imaging, nursing and more.

Fibromyalgia is a disease characterized by widespread pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbance and memory problems among other. It is generally accepted by researchers that the condition Fibromyalgia reflects an amplification of painful sensations through discrepancies arising in the way the brain processes pain signals. However, the cause and molecular mechanisms behind Fibromyalgia is unknown, as well as a proper treatment. The disease can in many persons be so debilitating (read: physical disability) that they cannot work or live a normal social life.

Our promise “FibroRes: Research for a better understanding of Fibromyalgia” is the foundation of what we at FibroRes strive to achieve.

We invite you to have a look at the projects running on www.fibores.org.
