No, it’s not in your head!

People living with Fibromyalgia (FM) deal with a mysterious condition. FM causes widespread, long-lasting pain without any obvious injury, and due to its high prevalence in the general population, it is considered one of the most common debilitating diseases worldwide. Patients commonly suffer from depression, anxiety and sleepless nights. Unfortunately, current treatments are not very effective, and there is no known cure. For this reason, it is urgent to find new therapies that can provide relief for these patients. This thesis has challenged the old views of FM and contributed to its understanding, opening new possibilities for the development of treatments for this challenging disease.

There are many reasons explaining the gender differences in heart disease development.
