A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over Study In Fibromyalgia Subjects To Examine Effects Of Pregabalin On Brain Response To Mechanical Pain As Assessed By Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy And Subjective Ratings
The purpose of this study is to explore how pregabalin works in patients with fibromyalgia by
evaluating brain imaging signals. To find out whether fMRI (functional magnetic resonance
imaging) is an efficient way to show whether new pain medications are effective in treating
fibromyalgia.
