Fibromyalgia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Improvement of the Health-related Quality of Life of Patients With Fibromyalgia Using Multidisciplinary Treatment
The purpose of this study is to assess improvement in health related quality of life of fibromyalgia patients following 6 weeks of interdisciplinary treatment compared to the usual treatment.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is the most common cause of diffuse pain in the bones and joints, with a
prevalence in general adult populations estimated at between 0.7% and 3.3%. In Spain, the
prevalence of FM is 2-3%; it affects mainly women, with new diagnoses peaking between the
ages of 40 and 49 years. In certain populations, however, the prevalence may be much higher,
as in 15% of patients referred from internal medicine units or 12% of patients referred to
rheumatology specialists in Spain.
Fibromyalgia produces various degrees of disability and pain. It also has a clear impact on
health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Burckhardt et al. observed lower HRQoL among
patients with fibromyalgia than among healthy subjects. Indeed, the HRQoL for those with FM
was similar to that of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. Among patients with non-cancer chronic pain referred to the
pain management unit at our institution, those with bone and joint pain and with FM had the
worst progress 6 months after diagnosis as measured by HRQoL.
The characteristics of FM, such as its complex and unknown etiology, wide range of symptoms
and signs, and multiple comorbidities make identifying effective therapies particularly
difficult. As a result, no consensus yet exists regarding the best therapeutic approaches,
and treatment of FM presents a challenge for clinicians. Clinical research suggests that
pharmacologic treatment alone is not the best approach for FM, and that an integrated
biopsychosocial approach that includes non-pharmacologic therapies along with pharmacologic
therapies improves outcomes in these patients.
In our hospital, between 5% and 10% of patients newly diagnosed with FM are referred to the
pain management unit. We established a clinical trial in this population to assess
improvement in HRQoL following 6 months of interdisciplinary treatment compared to the usual
treatment, as well as to identify predictors for improvement in HRQoL.
