Group 1Olive PolyphenolsGroup 1: consisting of 20 patients diagnosed with FM, who received a daily dose of 3 capsules (2 in the morning and 1 in the evening) of Mygrium® during 60 days.
Group 2PlaceboGroup 2: 20 patients diagnosed with FM, who received a daily dose of 3 capsules (2 in the morning and 1 in the evening) of a placebo (maltodextrins) during 60 days. This intervention group served as a control.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma proteomeIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 3 months

Proteomic analyses will be performed by liquid nano-chromatography coupled to label-free tandem mass spectrometry (label-free nLC-MS/MS). This technique allows the relative quantification of the abundance of each protein in each sample, making it possible to assess those with differential expression in the different study groups.

Lipid peroxidationIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Lipid peroxidation is determined by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Red blood cellsIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Red blood cells are measured using a DxH 900 Workcell Automated Hematology Solution (Beckman Coulter).

AldolaseIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Aldolase is measured using an AU 5800 analyzer (Beckman Coulter).

LDL cholesterolIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

LDL cholesterol is measured by a spectrophotometric procedure using an Olympus AU 5400 analyzer (Beckman Coulter).

FibrinogenIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Fibrinogen is measured using a DxH 900 Workcell Automated Hematology Solution (Beckman Coulter).

Total cholesterolIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Total cholesterol is measured by a spectrophotometric procedure using an Olympus AU 5400 analyzer (Beckman Coulter).

Cholesterol ratioIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Cholesterol ratio is measured by a spectrophotometric procedure using an Olympus AU 5400 analyzer (Beckman Coulter).

C-reactive protein (CRP)It will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

C-reactive protein (CRP) ie measured using an AU 5800 analyzer (Beckman Coulter).

Impact of fibromyalgiaIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 20 minutes

FIQR (Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire) will be used to evaluate the functional capacity in daily living activities

Quality of LifeIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 20 minutes

SF-12 (Quality of Life Questionnaire) is used to assess quality of life.

HaemoglobinIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Haemoglobin is measured using a DxH 900 Workcell Automated Hematology Solution (Beckman Coulter).

CortisolIt will be carried out on blood samples from the study participants before starting the intervention and at the end. Estimated duration of 1 month

Cortisol level is determined in serum samples by a fluorescence polarization immunoassay using an AxSYM (Abbott Laboratories, IL, USA).
