Nutrition and Coping Education for Symptom and Weight Management for Fibromyalgia

FibromyalgiaObesity

Research has shown that weight problems are very common in fibromyalgia. Research also suggests that overweight and obesity may contribute to worsening of fibromyalgia symptoms and biochemical vulnerability associated with fibromyalgia. Effective weight management may be important in not only improving general health but also better management of fibromyalgia symptoms. Research has indicated that nutrition and coping education is important aspects of successful weight management. In this study, the investigators are evaluating the effect of nutrition and coping education on weight and symptom management of fibromyalgia among overweight and obese patients.

Occipital Nerve Stimulation in Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia

The aim of this study is to investigate whether greater occipital nerve stimulation is effective in the treatment of fibromyalgia related pain. The study uses sub sensory threshold stimulation and placebo stimulation in order to investigate whether sub-threshold stimulation is feasible in a placebo controlled study.

Intravenous Lidocaine for Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia

The effect of intravenous lidocaine infusion on manifestations of fibromyalgia manifestations were recorded before and 4 weeks after treatment. Pain intensity was rated on a numerical scale.The combination of 240 mg intravenous lidocaine (once a week) and 25 mg amitriptyline for 4 weeks did not modify pain intensity or manifestations in patients with fibromyalgia.

Lidocaine on Manifestations of Fibromyalgia

FibromyalgiaChronic Pain

Background and Objectives: Fibromyalgia is a pain syndrome characterized by numerous manifestations. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the combination of intravenous lidocaine and amitriptyline on the manifestations of fibromyalgia. Methods: A prospective, randomized, double-blind, comparative study was conducted. All patient received 25 mg amitriptyline. Patients of group 1 (n = 15) received 125 mL 0.9% saline, and patients of group 2 (n = 15) received 240 mg lidocaine in 125 mL 0.9% saline once a week for 4 weeks. Manifestations were recorded before and 4 weeks after treatment. Pain intensity was rated on a verbal numerical scale.

Qigong For Treatment Of Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia Pain

Fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and hyperalgesia with a prevalence of 2-4% in the general population; it is often accompanied by fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression and other conditions. It is a difficult condition to treat, and only recently have drugs been approved by the FDA specifically for the treatment of this condition (Lyrica was approved in 2007, Duloxetine in 2008). There are now several clinical trials of drugs commonly used to treat neuropathic pain (amitriptyline, gabapentin, pregabalin, acetaminophen/tramadol, duloxetine, minserin) reporting some degree of efficacy in treating fibromyalgia. This efficacy makes it practical to consider fibromyalgia along with other neuropathic pain conditions. However, such drug trials report only partial efficacy in relieving pain and/or other symptoms. Current treatment recommendations indicate the need for a multimodal approach; this includes medical management using appropriate drug therapies, psychological therapies, exercise and complementary approaches. The current proposal is for a randomized controlled trial to compare qigong (a complementary modality) to a wait list control to determine if qigong is a useful complementary therapy for fibromyalgia. The investigators recently completed a pilot trial in which they examined a specific form of qigong (CFQ Qigong, available locally in Halifax), and observed beneficial effects against pain, fibromyalgia impact, and on quality of life scores; importantly, these benefits were all sustained for 6 months to the end of the trial. On the basis of these preliminary observations, the investigators now propose a controlled trial in which CFQ Qigong is compared to a wait list control group. The latter group will be offered qigong training at the end of the trial, so could really be characterized as a delayed treatment group. The study will consist of a 3-day training period, weekly review of technique sessions for 8 weeks, daily practice for 8 weeks, with assessments at baseline, at 8 weeks following the training and practice, and follow-up assessments at 4 and 6 months. Study outcomes will include: (a) pain (numeric rating scale - pain intensity), (b) impact (fibromyalgia impact questionnaire), (c) quality of life measures (SF-36), (d) patient assessments (patient global impression of change and satisfaction scales), (e) sleep measures (Pittsburgh sleep quality index, actigraphy, sleep diary). In addition to these assessments, the investigators will also conduct qualitative assessments in which participants provide a more open-ended assessment of their health status at these same intervals. The main hypothesis being examined is that CFQ Qigong will produce benefits compared to the wait list group.

Efficacy and Safety of SR46349B in Patients With Sleep Disorders in Fibromyalgia

FibromyalgiaSleep1 more

Fibromyalgics frequently report sleep disturbances, in particular poor and unrefreshing sleep. Additionally, studies have reported that sleep problems, pain and mood disturbances are associated in patients with fibromyalgia. By improving the quality of sleep, complaints of poor and unrefreshing sleep, fatigue, pain, which are among the main components of this chronic pain disorder may be improved.
