Fibromyalgia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Milnacipran and Neurocognition, Pain and Fatigue in Fibromyalgia: A 13-week Randomized, Placebo Controlled Cross Over Trial
This study was designed to investigate whether milnacipran is safe and effective in improving cognitive function in fibromyalgia. In addition, this study was aimed to investigate whether improvement in neurocognitive status due to milnacipran correlates with improvements in pain, to investigate whether improvement in neurocognitive status due to milnacipran correlates with improvements in fatigue, and to determine whether treatment with improvement in neurocognitive status, pain and fatigue correlates with functional improvement.
Cognitive dysfunction is observed in fibromyalgia, especially for episodic memory, learning, and working memory.There is evidence for dysregulation of the attention system from low-level sensory processes up to emotional processes, and increased sensitivity to distraction.Milnacipran's balance of norepinephrine (NE) to serotonin (5-HT) of 3:1, similar to amitriptyline, a tricyclic that has demonstrated efficacy in fibromyalgia, as compared to venlafaxine which is 1:30, or duloxetine which is 1:10.7 In addition, because of milnacipran's effect on 5-HT, it should also be effective in treating other symptoms such as sleep disturbances and mood changes, which are associated to fibromyalgia, as well as other functional somatic syndromes. It is worth noting that several medications to treat fibromyalgia are sedating (e.g pregabalin, opioids, muscle relaxants) and impair neurocognition. ;
