Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Fibromyalgia
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT00645398
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin versus placebo for the symptomatic relief of pain associated with fibromyalgia. If this objective is met, then the second objective will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin versus placebo for the management of fibromyalgia (pain, patient global assessment, and functional status). Additionally, the study will evaluate the efficacy of pregabalin versus placebo to improve sleep, fatigue, and mood disturbance associated with fibromyalgia.
