Social Media Connectedness in Fibromyalgia

Sponsor: Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Summary

Patients suffering from fibromyalgia commonly experience depressive symptoms such as loneliness and hopelessness due to the nebulousness of the disease. A primary purpose of social media is to promote connectedness, which is associated with improved well-being. Using archival, de-identified data collected by a social media company, this study aims to explore whether connectedness among patients with fibromyalgia facilitated by social media can improve mental and physical health outcomes.
