View clinical trials related to Fibromyalgia.
Filter by:Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) refers to a set of symptoms that include exhaustion, muscle pain, and tender points, where slight pressure can cause pain. Doctors do not know what causes FMS or how to cure it, but some treatments have helped relieve its symptoms. Progressive exercise, in which exercise is started at low levels and then increased, is one of the most reliable treatments, but people with FMS often avoid exercise or stop after completing exercise programs. This research will focus on the idea that people with FMS do not exercise because they are afraid of injury or have had a negative experience exercising. Participants will undergo one or a combination of several different treatments that aim to reduce fear of exercising. The different treatments will then be evaluated on their effectiveness in reducing disability among people with FMS.
The purpose of this study is to explore how pregabalin works in patients with fibromyalgia by evaluating brain imaging signals. To find out whether fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is an efficient way to show whether new pain medications are effective in treating fibromyalgia.
Investigation of the long-term (12 months) efficacy and safety of milnacipran used in the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome.
Evaluation of the antinociceptive effect of 7 weeks of treatment with milnacipran, compared to placebo, in fibromyalgia out-patients
The study is designed to assess if esreboxetine can improve the cognitive function of patients with fibromyalgia. Cognitive function is defined as the ability to concentrate, remember things and make decisions or problem solve. The study is also designed to assess if there is a difference in cognitive function between fibromyalgia patients and matched control subjects.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the dietary supplement Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) for the treatment of joint and connective tissue discomfort & pain.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of the dietary supplement Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) for the treatment of joint and connective tissue discomfort, pain, and flexibility.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether creatine associated or not to exercise training can improve physical performance in patients with knee osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia.
The Real World Examination of Fibromyalgia: Longitudinal Evaluation of Costs and Treatments (REFLECTIONS) Study is a 12-month, prospective observational study that will be utilized in approximately 58 care settings in the United States (US) and Puerto Rico. It is designed to examine treatment patterns and health outcomes of adult participants diagnosed by their physician with fibromyalgia (FM) and who are starting any "new pharmacologic agent" for FM. The primary benefit of this study is enhanced understanding of the disease state of FM and the role that pharmacologic treatment plays, which may help to optimize management of FM. This study will address current gaps in a rapidly growing body of literature on FM.
The purpose of this study is to find out if certain types of Magnetic Resonance (MR) scanning will help to better detect markers in the brain that are related to the neuropsychiatric symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A small percentage of patients who have this type of lupus experience symptoms that may result from a blood clot or change in blood vessel structure in the brain. These neuropsychiatric symptoms can include an inability to think clearly, a change in level of awake and/or awareness, and in the worst cases, seizure and stroke. Another goal of the study is to find out if individuals with fibromyalgia (FM), or chronic pain, have symptom-related markers in any of these scans as well. Better and earlier detection of markers that are related to acute neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE) and FM will be helpful to all who are affected by these diseases.
