About this study

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze Clinical and Nocturnal Polysomnographic Data (Overnight Sleep Studies) in patients with and without Fibromyalgia.

Fibromyalgia is a pain syndrome associated with dysfunctional sleep, fatigue, frequent awakenings, non-refreshing sleep, and alpha frequency intrusions. Quantitative EEG during routine Nocturnal Polysomnography can be used to assess Alpha/Delta sleep. Hypothesis: Alpha intrusions may be an objective marker for Fibromyalgia and may correlate with current clinical American College of Rheumatology Criteria for the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia.

Read the detailed description

This is a Retrospective Study of patients with and without Fibromyalgia seen in private practice from Aug 2007-July 2010 who underwent Overnight Sleep Studies (PSG)

The polysomnographic and clinical data from research subjects with a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia will be compared to other subjects' PSG and Clinical data who were also referred for Sleep Studies including those with Sleep Apnea, Narcolepsy, Periodic Limb Movement, Fatigue, and Insomnia which are standard indications for Overnight Sleep Studies.

Clinical Data: Clinical Data points will include the following: 1. Research Study Number, 2. Age, 3. Gender, 4. Body Mass Index, 5. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (self reported scale on Sleepiness), 6. Fatigue Severity Scale (self reported scale on Fatigue, 7. American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Criteria for Fibromyalgia, 8. Manual Tender Point Exam (# of anatomically specific tender points/18), 9. Medications: Benzodiazepines (Bnz, Bnz ), Tricyclic Antidepressants (TCA) and Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs SNRIs).

Sleep Study Data Points: The following data points will be captured from Overnight Sleep Studies: 1. Total Sleep Time, 2. Sleep Efficiency, 3. Wake After Sleep Onset, 4.Apnea/Hypopnea Index, 5. Respiratory Distress Index, 6. Periodic Limb Movement Index, 7. Periodic Limb Movement Arousal Index, and 8. Quantitative EEG: Delta Event/Alpha Event Ratio.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Fibromyalgia, run by SouthCoast Medical Group at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Delta Event/Alpha Event Ratios in Non-REM sleep (time frame: up to 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01674179, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Oct 2016.
