The goal of the GoodHope Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Clinic is to improve the clinical care options for patients and advance the knowledge of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). Very little is known about the relationship between exercise, diet and nutrition, and best practices of pain management in EDS. At present, there is no cure for this disease. Patient-led self-management is currently the best approach for the long-term treatment of both EDS and HSD (along with multidisciplinary specialist referral where required). In our clinical research program, we are investigating the effect of multidisciplinary pain management approaches for joint pain and headaches, aerobic and resistance training for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), and diet and nutrition for functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. We are also doing basic science research to advance a cure for EDS.
