Fibromyalgia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of Levetiracetam for Treatment of Pain Associated With Fibromyalgia
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of levetiracetam in reducing the pain of fibromyalgia when compared to placebo. Levetiracetam, an anti-seizure drug, is currently FDA-approved and marketed for use in patients with seizures. Levetiracetam may relieve pain by reducing abnormal activity in the nervous system. A placebo is an inactive substance.
The UCSF Pain Clinical Research Center (PCRC) will be conducting this investigator-initiated 9-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study of Levetiracetam. There will be a total of 6 study visits. Visit 1 is a screening visit to assess subject eligibility, followed by a one-week period of baseline daily pain and sleep assessments. Visit 2 (one week after Visit 1) subjects will be randomized in a 3/2-randomization scheme and administered study medication. Subjects randomized to the treatment group will start Levetiracetam at 1 tablet of 500/mg/day, and will titrate by 500mg each week to a maximum dose of 3000 mg/day. Visits 3, 4, 5, and 6 (occurring 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks after started study drug) include safety and efficacy assessments. Study drug taper is initiated at Visit 6. ;
