Description

At least one-third of physical symptoms in medical care are medically unexplained. These symptoms are common all over the world and their health consequences are not a peculiarity to just one culture. Although many such symptoms are transient and relatively minor, 10–15% of primary care patients have disabling medically unexplained syndromes (MUS). The need for more research on the best management of medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) has been stressed in the medical literature. The course will provide an update on the latest advancements in the treatment and management of the most common symptoms of medically unexplained syndromes (MUS).

Objective

After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

• Identify challenges caregivers face in caring for patients with medically unexplained syndromes
• Recognize quality of life issues for patients with medically undiagnosed syndromes
• Outline current advances in the evaluation and testing of individuals who present with the most common symptoms of medically unexplained syndromes
• Describe the current management strategies with medically unexplained syndromes
