Filter by:The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Xyrem® compared to placebo for the treatment of fibromyalgia in a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group trial.
This study will examine the safety and effectiveness of the experimental drug, neurotropin, for preventing or easing pain associated with fibromyalgia. A disorder that primarily affects women, fibromyalgia causes widespread aching and stiffness in muscles. Neurotropin has been used in Japan for many years to treat various chronic painful conditions, including fibromyalgia. Women with fibromyalgia who have been treated unsuccessfully with standard therapy may be eligible for this study. Patients must have a history of widespread pain for more than half of the days in each of the three months before they enter the study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests, questionnaires and an electrocardiogram (EKG). Participants take their usual medications for fibromyalgia in addition to either neurotropin or a placebo (look-alike medicine with no active ingredient). At 6 weeks and 12 weeks into the study, they return to the NIH Clinical Center for evaluation of their sensitivity to pain and level of physical capability. After 12 weeks, study subjects "cross-over" their medication; that is, patients who took neurotropin for the first 12 weeks of the study take placebo for the next 12 weeks, and vice-versa. Again, after 6 and 12 weeks, patients return for evaluation. Participants have blood and urine tests six times during the study and complete questionnaires each week about their pain, symptoms, and activities.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of [S,S]-Reboxetine in patients with fibromyalgia.
The main purpose of this protocol is to evaluate the long-term safety of pregabalin in patients who participated in the previous fibromyalgia Study A0081100 and who wish to receive open-label pregabalin therapy.
This study, will compare pregabalin with placebo for the duration of 14 weeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin in patients with fibromyalgia.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether mild walter-filtered near infrared hyperthermia produces an additional benefit when applied as an adjunct to standard multimodal rehabilitation compared to standard multimodal rehabilitation only in patients with fibromyalgia.
The overall objective of this work is to improve treatment outcomes for persons with fibromyalgia by optimizing the approach to self-management. The purpose of this research project is to evaluate and compare, in a randomized, controlled trial involving 200 women, the short and long-term effectiveness of four approaches to fibromyalgia self-management for improving health and functional status, self-efficacy, and symptom severity. Additionally, we will also examine the effect of each intervention on health care usage. We will assess the following 16-week interventions: - cardiovascular and flexibility exercise - strength training, cardiovascular and flexibility exercise - Arthritis Foundation's Fibromyalgia Self-Help course - a combination of the Fibromyalgia Self-Help Course and strength training exercise interventions
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common and chronic disorder characterized by widespread muscle pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points. The majority of individuals with FM report sleep problems, including delayed sleep onset, extended awakenings, and non-restorative sleep. These sleep disturbances may worsen FM-related pain, fatigue, low mood, and low energy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral insomnia therapy in reducing sleep disturbances and improving other FM-related symptoms.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of milnacipran at a dosage of 100 mg/day in the treatment of the fibromyalgia syndrome or the pain associate with fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgics frequently report sleep disturbances, in particular poor and unrefreshing sleep. Additionally, studies have reported that sleep problems, pain and mood disturbances are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. By improving the quality of sleep, complaints of poor and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, pain, which are among the main components of this chronic pain disorder may be improved.
