However, novel therapeutic management strategies exist, from prevention to efficient treatment, and regeneration.

A better understanding of this complex disease by promoting scientific research and a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach, including epidemiology, microbiology, immunology, physiology, therapeutics, psychology, etc.

A better information of the empowered patients, leading them to consider prevention and to take part in their therapeutic course.
