Filter by:The main purpose of this study is to determine which is the best dose of a drug known as Dysport to give when treating one's type of upper back pain. The study will also examine the side effects of this treatment and its overall effect on one's disorder.
This study is designed to evaluate duloxetine for the treatment of fibromyalgia syndrome patients.
This is a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, trial to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of an orally administered growth hormone stimulating drug, (code named MK-0677) in the treatment of female subjects with primary fibromyalgia. The basis for this study is the observation that many fibromyalgia patients are growth hormone deficient; an earlier study of injectable growth hormone had shown benefit in this population of fibromyalgia patients.
The purpose of this research is to conduct an open, pilot trial to assess the efficacy and safety of fluoxetine in the treatment of Juvenile Primary Fibromyalgia Syndrome (JPFS).
Antidepressants of all varieties represent a common form of therapy for many chronic states including fibromyalgia. The majority of antidepressants increase the levels of serotonin or norepinephrine in the central nervous system. Milnacipran is a dual norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibitor and may be effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
Fibromyalgia (FM) syndrome is a common chronic pain disorder that may benefit from nondrug treatment. This study will compare the effectiveness of behavioral preparation, stress management education, and fibromyalgia and coping education in relieving the symptoms of FM. Each of these nondrug treatments will be combined with physical therapy and physical education. Specific aims: 1) Evaluate the efficacy of behavioral preparation programs on attrition, compliance, and treatment outcomes of self-management rehabilitation for FM syndrome. 2) Determine factors that mediate clinical efficacy. 3) Evaluate individual differences in treatment responses to delineate who will benefit most from each type of the behavioral preparation programs.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Xyrem (sodium oxybate) is effective when used alone to treat the pain and sleep disturbances of fibromyalgia.
Pain management techniques may influence how the brain processes pain and may help patients with fibromyalgia (FM), a chronic pain condition. This study will train patients with FM to use pain management techniques. Investigators will use brain scanning (functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI) technology to identify changes in how a patient's brain processes pain over time. This study is primarily interested in examining cortical response to different behavioral interventions.
Juvenile fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that can cause considerable suffering and difficulty in an adolescent's day-to-day activities. The purpose of this study is to determine whether coping skills training, when combined with usual medical care, can reduce pain and disability in adolescents with fibromyalgia. Study hypotheses: 1) Adolescents who receive coping skills training combined with their usual medical care will show significantly greater reductions in functional disability, pain, and depressive symptoms at the end of the acute treatment phase than adolescents who receive fibromyalgia education with their usual medical care. 2) Adolescents who receive coping skills training with their usual medical care will show significantly lower levels of functional disability, pain, and depressive symptoms at the end of a six-month maintenance phase than adolescents who receive fibromyalgia education with their usual medical care.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a new form of brainwave biofeedback is effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia.
