Question 26158 — diseases

Summary

Mr. Jean-Luc Lagleize draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the subject of fibromyalgia. According to the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), fibromyalgia is characterized by persistent, chronic and multiple diffuse pain, having an effect on functional capacities, which varies between people and over time. According to the High Authority of Health (HAS), between 1.4% and 2.2% of French people, more than 80% of whom are women, are affected. These people very frequently suffer from chronic fatigue, cognitive, attention and sleep disorders and emotional disturbances. These symptoms associated with chronic pain have repercussions on the activities of daily life, including difficulty maintaining employment and impacts on family and social life, which may lead to depression. A difficult disease to diagnose, it has been the subject of numerous therapeutic attempts, both pharmacological and non-drug. Although recognized as a disease in its own right by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1992, fibromyalgia is not yet officially recognized as such by France. Collective expertise from the National Institute of Health and Research medical research (Inserm) on fibromyalgia, commissioned by the general directorate of health of its ministry, is currently being carried out and the results were to be published at the end of 2019. This was in particular to produce recommendations relating to the standard process for the care of these patients. Thus, he questions him about the recognition of fibromyalgia and the Government's intentions regarding this disease.
