Active clinical trials for "Myofascial Pain Syndromes"

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.

The objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Xyrem® compared to placebo for the treatment of fibromyalgia in a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group trial.

The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety of desvenlafaxine succinate sustained-release (DVS SR) during open-label treatment in adult outpatients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

The purpose is to assess the efficacy of eszopiclone for the treatment of insomnia and other symptoms of fibromyalgia. It is hypothesized that participants receiving eszopiclone will report greater improvement in total sleep time, sleep quality, pain, fatigue, physical functioning, and emotional distress than will those receiving placebo.

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if duloxetine reduces pain severity in patients with fibromyalgia.
