Brief Summary

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

The aim of the present study is to determine the effectiveness of probiotic and prebiotic treatments in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Detailed Description

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

Fifty-three, fibromyalgia syndrome participants were randomized to receive either: 1) probiotic 4×1010 CFUs per day 2) 10 g dose prebiotic (inulin) per day or 3) placebo for 8 wk. Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Visual Analogical Pain Scale (VAS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and quality of life (SF-36) were measured during the baseline, 4 weeks and 8 weeks intervention phases. Finally, the adverse effects will be evaluated.

Probiotic

Oral probiotic supplementation (Pro-Probiotic) was provided by iHealth; Cromwell, USA. Each sachet included a 1×1010 CFUs dose of four viable microbial cell preparation strains: there are two strains of lactobacillus genus (Lactobacillus acidophillus L1 (2.9×109) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus liobif (2.9×109)), Bifidobacterium longum (2.9×109) and Saccharomyces boulardii (1.3×109). Each participant took a total daily dose of 4×1010 CFUs.
