This study, will compare pregabalin with placebo for the duration of 15 weeks to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin in patients with fibromyalgia.
This study will assess the safety and efficacy of the long-term use of pregabalin at doses up to 450 mg/day in patients with fibromyalgia who have completed 16 weeks of dosing in Study A0081208 (NCT00830167).
Objective: Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, crossover, clinical trial to examine the effects of the food additive glutamate (in the form of MSG) on IBS and fibromyalgia. Setting and Subjects: The Fibromyalgia Research Database at OHSU will be utilized to identify and recruit fibromyalgia patients who also have IBS to OHSU study centers. Intervention: Approximately 60 male and female subjects aged 18-75 will be placed on a 1-month glutamate-free elimination diet. Those that respond positively to the diet (we are estimating 30-40 subjects), will then be randomized to receive either a citrus drink containing 5 grams of MSG; or placebo (the citrus drink alone)on three consecutive days one week apart. The investigators are hypothesizing that those who react positively to the elimination diet will have symptom occurrence statistically more frequently when given the glutamate challenge, than when given placebo.
This study offers a new treatment, dolasetron or ANZEMET ®, which will be administered by intravenous way once a day during a 4 days Hospitalization. This study is double blind (neither you nor the physician will know if you are receiving active study drug or placebo). Randomisation at the beginning of the study will decide whether you receive active treatment or its placebo. This treatment will be renewed after one month, after 2 months and after 3 months. If the study staff determines that you are eligible and you decide to participate, there will be approximately 6 study visits in about 9 months. During these visits, you will undergo routine health exams and complete different kinds of questionnaires. Following this first period of 3 months, you agree to come back for consultation at month 4, month 6 and month 12 for monitoring and evaluating the effects of treatment.
The study has two goals. The first goal of the study is to compare two methods of administering questions about pain and sleep interference. The two methods being compared are a telephone based system and an electronic hand held diary. The second goal of the study is to evaluate a daily diary to evaluate fatigue symptoms in patients with fibromyalgia.
To compare the safety and tolerability of sodium oxybate given as a combination of an oral solution and oral tablets for 4 weeks in subjects with fibromyalgia (FM).
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of milnacipran when taken with another drug called pregabalin in people with fibromyalgia.
The study has a double purpose: a first phase intends to assess the effectiveness and tolerability of trazodone, an antidepressant with sedative and sleep-promoting properties, in the treatment of fibromyalgia; a second phase intends to evaluate if the addition of pregabalin to patients who have shown a partial response to trazodone additionally improves fibromyalgia symptomatology.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of combination of tramadol hydrochloride and acetaminophen in participants for treatment of fibromyalgia pain (chronic widespread pain and presence of tender points).
