MYOPAIN.

A journal of myofascial pain and fibromyalgia is the forum of research and clinical practice for muscle and tendon pain.

It serves as a central resource for the dissemination of information about fibromyalgia, myofascial pain and pain intrinsic to muscle, which is in the field of interest of the International Myopain Society.

This includes: • basic & clinical research • molecular biology • epidemiology • innovative opinion • psychology • anesthesiology • dentistry • neurology • orthopedics • pain management • neurophysiology • neuroanatomy • electrophysiology • therapeutics • medical biochemistry • pharmacology • physiatry • psychiatry • rehabilitation • rheumatology
