Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether pregabalin is effective in treating subjects who have had fibromyalgia for less than one year. Pregabalin has been approved by the FDA for treatment of fibromyalgia. the purpose of the study is to see if subjects identified through their primary care physicians who have fibromyalgia and have had symptoms for less than one year respond to pregabalin and to identify characteristics of that response.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The randomized clinical trial of pregabalin in early-onset fibromyalgia.

At the baseline visit, each subject will be asked if they wish to consider enrolling in Part II. If they agree, the details of the study will be explained and Dr Goldenberg will consent those who wish to enroll in Part II. The first 75 patients who consent will be enrolled in the study, the randomized clinical trial of pregabalin in early-onset fibromyalgia.

After a study subject has been enrolled, they will be randomized to one of two treatment groups. All subjects will be randomized, 1:1 either to the pregabalin group (group A) or the placebo group (group B). Randomization will take place after enrollment via selection of one of a multitude of envelopes containing a random number. Each random number will have been preassigned to either Group A or group B.
