Fibromyalgia, Eating Disorders and Rehabilitation: The Nrf2 Link

Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs integrating physical therapy, exercise prescription and nutritional strategies targeting Nrf2 activation offer evidence-based, mechanism-driven approaches to address shared oxidative stress pathophysiology. Nrf2 pathway dysfunction represents a promising and biologically plausible molecular target that may help to unify our understanding of fibromyalgia and eating disorders pending confirmation from prospective clinical studies in comorbid populations. Future research should prioritize prospective clinical trials testing Nrf2-targeted interventions in comorbid populations and collaborative patient-centered care models.
