Обзор

This study aims to see whether acupuncture can help fibromyalgia patients by giving them acupuncture treatment and seeing whether acupuncture helps enhance the effects of an opioid.

Подробное описание

The investigator hypothesizes that traditional acupuncture (TA) enhances binding of the MOR receptor which will then enhance the pain-reducing effects of opioids compared to sham acupuncture (SA). The investigator will test the hypothesis by giving participants a validated Brief Pain Inventory to complete during the pre-therapy opioid challenge and one week after TA or SA therapy is completed.

Вмешательства

  • Процедура Traditional Acupuncture
    Acupuncture is a type of treatment where thin needles are gently inserted into specific parts of your body. It's often used to help with things like pain, headaches, stress, and anxiety.
  • Процедура Sham Acupuncture
    Sham acupuncture in this trial involves the insertion superficially to mimic the procedure of true acupuncture without providing any therapeutic effect. The needles will be similar to those used in the true acupuncture group but will not be stimulated, ensuring blinding and controlling for placebo effects.

Первичные конечные точки

  • Change in the pain VAS versus time following opioid challenge for pre-post TA vs. pre-post SA [Срок оценки: Change in pain score after opioid administration comparing the first and last study treatment session (2 weeks separation in time).]
Вторичные конечные точки (1)
  • Change in FIQ [Срок оценки: Change in pain score after opioid administration comparing the first and last study treatment session (2 weeks separation in time).]
