A 14-week, Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Monotherapy Trial of Pregabalin in Patients With Fibromyalgia
Open accessAbstract
Unlabelled The purpose of the study was to assess the efficacy and safety of pregabalin monotherapy in patients with fibromyalgia in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial. After 1 week of single-blinded administration of placebo, 750 patients meeting American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to pregabalin (300 mg/d, 450 mg/d, 600 mg/d) or placebo, administered twice daily for 14 weeks. The primary outcome variable was comparison of end point mean pain scores, derived from daily diary ratings of pain intensity (0 to 10 scale), between each of the pregabalin groups and the placebo group. If positive, additional primary efficacy parameters included the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) total score. Compared with placebo-treated patients, mean changes in pain scores at the end point in pregabalin-treated patients were significantly greater (P < .001: 300 mg/d, -0.71; 450 mg/d, -0.98; 600 mg/d, -1.00). Compared with placebo, significantly more pregabalin-treated patients reported improvement on PGIC (P < .01 for all 3 pregabalin doses) and significant improvements in total FIQ score for the 450 mg/d (P = .004) and the 600 mg/d (P = .003) doses. Compared with placebo, all 3 doses of pregabalin were associated with significant improvement in sleep. The most commonly reported pregabalin-related adverse events were dizziness and somnolence, which tended to be dose-related.Perspective This randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 300, 450, and 600 mg/d of pregabalin monotherapy demonstrated that all 3 doses were efficacious for up to 14 weeks for the treatment of fibromyalgia and were well tolerated by most patients. These results provide evidence that pregabalin is an important treatment option for patients with fibromyalgia.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
