DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This R-13 application requests support for the "First International Congress on Fascia Research: Basic Science and Implications for Conventional and Complementary Medicine" to be held in Boston, Massachusetts October 4-5 2007. This conference will present the highest quality, peer-reviewed, original research on connective tissue which is pertinent to hypothesized Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) therapeutic modalities such as acupuncture, massage, structural integration, chiropractic and osteopathy. In one year, 30 million people receive treatment from chiropractors, massage therapists or acupuncturists. We have already received confirmation of participation at the conference from 15 eminent scientists with collectively over 1500 publications in peer reviewed journals as well as sixteen other scientists or clinicians representing the key modalities of this work. The Fascia Research Congress is the first international conference dedicated to fascia in all its forms and functions. The principal thematic topics are: mechanical force transmission through fascia and fascial anatomy; matrix and fibroblast biology; force adaptation and response to loading; fascial innervation, nociception and proprioception; fascial research in special populations; a panel discussion of controversies in fibroblast research; and a panel for scientist-clinician interaction and formulation of future research directions. This conference objectives are: 1). create a forum in which the most current research on fascia will be presented and critically evaluated, including basic science, clinical mechanistic research, and research methodology; 2.) foster interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and international collaboration among scientists active in fascia research and clinicians whose methods may impact fascia; 3.) explore developments in research methodologies applicable to complementary therapy investigations; 4.)heighten professional awareness about advances in basic sciences and the importance of formulating hypotheses and testing of CAM therapeutic mechanisms; 5.) publish a volume of conference proceedings in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies and generating articles published in internationally indexed journals; 6.) foster networking among attendees, both at the conference and afterwards; 7.) enable future researchers (students and postdoctoral trainees) to strengthen their motivation and interest in career in fascia research. Information presented during the proposed meeting will foster discussions amongst participants that are aimed to promote future research to further the understanding of the role of fascia in musculoskeletal dynamics. Innovative features include international web casting to Germany, England and Brazil. In order to prepare manual therapy clinicians who may not be used to interaction with scientists, continuing education workshops will be offered during the year prior to this fascia conference with a focus on scientific issues and key literature. Public health impact - This conference will disseminate recent worldwide scientific research in the field of the human fasciae to both researchers and clinicians. In the general population, about two thirds are unable to work because of back pain at least once in their life and musculoskeletal pain accounts for 17% of primary care office visits. Musculoskeletal ailments are rising with the increased number of sit down jobs. Fascia is an important factor in generation of these ailments, and a more thorough understanding of its function will allow better research and better prevention measures and healing therapies to be developed.

说明（由申请人提供）：此 R-13 申请请求支持将于 2007 年 10 月 4 日至 5 日在马萨诸塞州波士顿举行的“第一届国际筋膜研究大会：基础科学及其对传统医学和补充医学的影响”。提出关于结缔组织的最高质量、经过同行评审的原创研究，该研究与假设的补充和替代医学 (CAM) 治疗方式相关，如针灸、按摩、结构疗法整合、脊椎按摩疗法和整骨疗法。一年内，有 3000 万人接受脊椎按摩师、按摩治疗师或针灸师的治疗。我们已经收到了 15 名在同行评审期刊上发表了 1500 多篇出版物的杰出科学家以及代表这项工作关键模式的其他 16 名科学家或临床医生的确认参加会议。筋膜研究大会是第一个致力于筋膜各种形式和功能的国际会议。主要主题是：通过筋膜的机械力传递和筋膜解剖学；基质和成纤维细胞生物学；力的适应和对负载的响应；筋膜神经支配、伤害感受和本体感受；特殊人群的筋膜研究；关于成纤维细胞研究争议的小组讨论；以及科学家与临床医生互动和未来研究方向制定小组。本次会议的目标是：1）．创建一个论坛，展示最新的筋膜研究并对其进行严格评估，包括基础科学、临床机制研究和研究方法； 2.) 促进活跃于筋膜研究的科学家和其方法可能影响筋膜的临床医生之间的跨学科、机构间和国际合作； 3.) 探索适用于补充治疗研究的研究方法的发展； 4.) 提高对基础科学进步以及提出假设和测试 CAM 治疗机制重要性的专业认识； 5.) 在《Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies》上出版一卷会议记录，并在国际索引期刊上发表文章； 6.) 在会议期间和会后促进与会者之间的联系； 7.) 使未来的研究人员（学生和博士后实习生）能够增强他们从事筋膜研究的动力和兴趣。拟议会议期间提供的信息将促进参与者之间的讨论，旨在促进未来的研究，以进一步了解筋膜在肌肉骨骼动力学中的作用。创新功能包括向德国、英国和巴西进行国际网络广播。为了让不习惯与科学家互动的手法治疗临床医生做好准备，将在本次筋膜会议之前一年举办继续教育研讨会，重点关注科学问题和关键文献。公共健康影响 - 本次会议将向研究人员和临床医生传播人体筋膜领域最新的全球科学研究。在一般人群中，大约三分之二的人一生中至少有一次因为背痛而无法工作，而肌肉骨骼疼痛占初级保健诊所就诊人数的 17%。随着坐下工作数量的增加，肌肉骨骼疾病也在增加。筋膜是这些疾病产生的重要因素，对其功能的更深入了解将有助于更好的研究、更好的预防措施和治疗疗法的开发。
