Dr. Pridgen on Bringing His Antiviral Approach to Fibromyalgia To Market <ref name=":11" /> :<blockquote>Almost three years ago, Dr. Pridgen threatened to turn the world of fibromyalgia treatment on its head. Few had connected fibromyalgia with viruses or even immune problems when Pridgen announced that a) FM is caused herpes simplex virus reactivation and b) that it could be treated with antivirals.<ref name=":11">{{Cite news |url =http://simmaronresearch.com/2016/10/pridgen-antiviral-treatment-fibromyaligia/ | title = The Pridgen Revolution?

IMC-1 is a novel fixed-dose oral combination antiviral medication designed to suppress this suspected virus and thus alleviate fibromyalgia symptoms.{{citation needed}}<ref name=":12">{{Cite news |url =http://fibromyalgianewstoday.com/2016/02/02/combo-tx-fast-tracked-for-fibromyalgia/ | title = Novel Fibromyalgia Treatment Granted FDA Fast Track Designation - Fibromyalgia News Today | last = Moore | first = Charles | date = 2016-02-02|work=Fibromyalgia News Today|access-date=2018-08-09|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote> :*2017, Through the “Valley of Death”: Dr. Pridgen, Fibromyalgia and the Looming Trials<ref name=":13" /> :<blockquote>First there were the anecdotal reports – FM patients were not just getting better but some, and not just a few, were getting well using something entirely new – an antiviral protocol, of all things, created not by a pain specialist or rheumatologist but by a surgeon.<ref name=":13">{{Cite news |url =http://simmaronresearch.com/2017/03/valley-death-fibromyalgia-pridgen/ | title = Through the "Valley of Death": Dr. Pridgen, Fibromyalgia and the Looming Trials - Simmaron Research | last = Johnson | first = Cort | date = 2017-03-26 | work=Simmaron Research|access-date=2018-08-09|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote> :*2017, A famciclovir + celecoxib combination treatment is safe and efficacious in the treatment of fibromyalgia<ref name=":24">{{Cite journal | last = Pridgen | first = William L | last2 = Duffy | first2 = Carol | last3 = Gendreau | first3 = Judy F | last4 = Gendreau | first4 = R Michael | date = 2017-02-22 | title = A famciclovir + celecoxib combination treatment is safe and efficacious in the treatment of fibromyalgia| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5328426/|journal=Journal of Pain Research|volume=10 | pages = 451–460|doi=10.2147/JPR.S127288|issn=1178-7090|pmc=|pmid=28260944|via=}}</ref> :<blockquote>IMC-1 was efficacious and safe in treating symptoms of fibromyalgia, supporting the hypothesis that herpes virus infections may contribute to this syndrome. Improved retention rates, decreased adverse event rates, and evidence of efficacy on a broad spectrum of outcome measures are suggestive that IMC-1 may represent an effective, novel treatment for fibromyalgia.<ref name=":24" /></blockquote>
