Active clinical trials for "Fibromyalgia"

The purpose of this study is to see if a device called the Resonator can help to reduce pain and improve aspects of health and quality of life for people with fibromyalgia.

A controlled randomised trial (CRT). 60 men who fulfil the ACR-criteria for Fibromyalgia or Chronic Widespread Pain (Wolfe 1990) participate in the study. The main objective of the study is to compare the effect of a graded strength training program and a low intensive pool exercise program.

The purpose of this study was to determine if using a specialized massage tool was more effective than a placebo treatment in relieving pain in the upper trapezius muscle along the top of the shoulder.

Is quetiapine more effective than other medications in the treatment of fibromyalgia.

The investigators will conduct a large randomized controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of Tai Chi mind-body exercise and standard-of-care aerobic exercise for fibromyalgia. In addition, the investigators will determine the optimal frequency and duration of a Tai Chi intervention for short and long-term effectiveness.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the durability of effect of milnacipran for the treatment of fibromyalgia in patients receiving long-term milnacipran treatment and to characterize the effects of milnacipran on multiple symptoms of fibromyalgia, as demonstrated by changes in symptoms following the discontinuation of milnacipran.

To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of milnacipran when taken with another drug called pregabalin in people with fibromyalgia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute and chronic effect of whole-body vibration exercise on serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels in women with fibromyalgia (FM). It was hypothesized that women with FM would exhibit an increase in IGF-1 following both acute and chronic WBV. Twenty-four women with FM were randomized into two groups: Vibration Group (VG) and Control Group (CG). The VG underwent a protocol with WBV exercise twice a week for a total of six weeks, whereas the CG performed the same protocol without vibratory stimulus. Both groups continued with their usual pharmacological treatment. Serum IGF-1 levels were determined using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). To test the effect of chronic WBV, serum IGF-1 measurements were taken at baseline and at weeks 1,3, and 6 of intervention. To test the effect of acute WBV, within week 1, serum IGF-1 measurements were taken before and immediately following a session of WBV.

The purpose of this study is to obtain preliminary data on the effects of Tai Chi on musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep quality, psychological distress, physical performance,and health status in 60 patients with fibromyalgia.

To evaluate the effects of multiple oral doses of desvenlafaxine sustained release (DVS SR) and paroxetine on the biotransformation of codeine to morphine in healthy subjects. To assess the safety and tolerability of DVS SR and paroxetine when coadministered with codeine to healthy subjects.
