Chronic pain conditions (CPCs) like fibromyalgia can greatly impact a person\u2019s quality of life and unfortunately there are not many effective treatments. Scientists believe that CPCs are due to a relationship between inborn (e.g. gender, genetics) and acquired factors (e.g. injury, stress).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
