Dear friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to The 8th International Congress on Controversies in Fibromyalgia that will take place 9-10 March 2026 in Kraków, Poland.

Even as our understanding regarding the pathogenesis and neuroscience underlying fibromyalgia and chronic pain rapidly expand and proliferate in recent years, heated controversies remain regarding many aspects of fibromyalgia, regarding its place in medicine and society and regarding the best ways to alleviate suffering.

Fibromyalgia2026 will again expose and shed constructive light on some of these more central controversies, honoring diversity of opinion as well as attempting to forge understanding and a basis for collaboration down the road.

The Congress will welcome researchers, clinicians, Fibromyalgia specialists, pain specialists, treatment experts, rehabilitation & occupational health specialists and other professionals.

The congress will focus on the following key areas:

Central Sensitization and Nociplastic Pain and Cognition
Neuroinflammation and Neuroimmune Mechanisms in Fibromyalgia
Psychosocial Approaches and Behavioral Management in Fibromyalgia
Precision Medicine and Pharmacological Interventions in Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia and Co-Morbidities
Small Fiber Neuropathy and Fibromyalgia – Emerging Evidence and Debate
Novel Aspects
New Treatments for Fibromyalgia and Nociplastic Pain
