Possible New Treatment For Fibromyalgia

The drug is called Naltrexone (nal_Trex_Own). It is being tested at Stanford by Jared Younger and Sean Mackey. Six of the ten women tested (keep in mind it is just preliminary testing) responded positively.

So you may be asking what is Naltrexone? Naltrexone is used to treat alcoholism and other addictions. It has been around for thirty years.

Sean Mackey, and Jared Younger are currently planning another step in the study, which more people with Fibromyalgia are eligible for.
