This session is part of a series of FM & ME/CFS Researchers and Expert Clinicians kindly donating their time to answer questions from patients and health practitioners. We are trying to build a greater connection between Canada's researchers, health practitioners, and the patient community, trying to give you an opportunity to learn more about our champions.
Due to law and good medical practice, none of the researchers will answer specific questions about a particular medical case.
Online with Angela Busch, PhD, BPT
Tap into Dr. Busch's knowledge, learn from her years of physiotherapy practice with Fibromyalgia patients, and learn from her research, which includes her role as a Cochrane investigator and currently, a worldwide review of the physiotherapy research for FM. The Cochrane initiative ensures that unpublished papers are reviewed, that all medical databases are reviewed, and that all sources are considered, to avoid missing important data. This rigorous methodology ensures Dr. Busch sees the whole picture.
The Cochrane Collaboration is an
international network of individuals
and institutions committed to preparing,
maintaining, and disseminating systematic
reviews of the effects of health care interventions.
In pursuing its aims, The Cochrane Collaboration
is guided by ten principles:
collaboration, building on the enthusiasm of
individuals, avoiding duplication,
minimizing bias, keeping up to date,
ensuring relevance, ensuring access,
continually improving the quality of its work,
continuity and enabling wide participation.
