Effectiveness and Cost-utility of a Complex Intervention for Fibromyalgia Patients
A study testing complex treatment in people with Fibromyalgia, run by Fundacio d'Investigacio en Atencio Primaria Jordi Gol i Gurina at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. Despite controversies about the most appropriate treatment, studies indicate that a multidisciplinary treatment would be effective. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Primary Care as a Promoter of the Quality of Life of Fibromyalgia Patients. Effectiveness and Cost-utility of a Complex Intervention Through a Randomized Clinical Trial
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. Despite controversies about the most appropriate treatment, studies indicate that a multidisciplinary treatment would be effective. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and cost-utility of a complex intervention in the quality of life (main variable), the functional impact, the mood and the pain of people with FM treated in the Primary Care Teams (PCTs) of the Catalan Institute of Health (CIH).
Read the detailed description
Methods and analysis: Mixed methodology study following the recommendations of the Medical Research Council, with two phases. Phase 1: Randomized pragmatic clinical trial with patients diagnosed with FM and assigned to one of the 11 PCTs of the CIH (Territorial management of "Terras del Ebro"). A total sample of 336 patients is estimated.
The usual clinical practice will be carried out in the control group and the usual practice and the complex treatment, in the intervention group. The complex treatment will be based on health education, aerobic physical exercise and cognitive-behavioral therapy, during 12 weeks in sessions of 2 hours/week. Statistical analysis: Assessment of the standardized mean response and of the size of the standardized effect and multivariate logistic regression analysis will be performed. The economic analysis will be based on useful measures. Phase 2: Qualitative socio-constructivist study to identify the improvement aspects of the intervention according to the results obtained and the opinions and experiences of the participants (patients and professionals). The sampling will be theoretical with 2 discussion groups composed of participants in the intervention and 2 discussion groups of professionals from different PCTs.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in life quality
to be evaluated with the health questionnaire (SF-36v2). It will be measured by a scale Likert: 0 (worst) to 100 (best).
Measured: change from life quality at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study
Change in functional impact of fibromyalgia
to be evaluated with the Revised Questionnaire on the Impact of Fibromyalgia (FIQR) It will be measured by a scale Likert: 0 (best) to 100 (worst).
Measured: Change from functional impact of fibromyalgia at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study.
Change in tender points
Tender points evaluate the presence of pain in 18 areas of the body and will be measured by a scale Likert: 0 (best) to 18 (worst).
Measured: Change from tender points at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study.
Change in Visual Analog Scale for pain (VAS)
The VAS evaluates the self-perceived intensity of pain by a scale Likert: 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (worst possible pain).
Measured: Change from VAS at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study.
Change in mood indicator (anxiety)
To be evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The scale likert punctuates from 0 to 21 (8 to 10 indicates a doubtful case of anxiety; more than 11 indicates a probable case of anxiety).
Measured: Change from mood indicator (anxiety) at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study.
Change in mood indicator (depression)
To be evaluated with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The scale likert punctuates from 0 to 21 (8 to 10 indicates a doubtful case of anxiety; more than 11 indicates a probable case of anxiety).
Measured: Change from mood indicator (depression) at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function that leads to a significant deterioration in the quality of life. Despite controversies about the most appropriate treatment, studies indicate that a multidisciplinary treatment would be effective. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness and cost-utility of a complex intervention in the quality of life (main variable), the functional impact, the mood and the pain of people with FM treated in the Primary Care Teams (PCTs) of the Catalan Institute of Health (CIH).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing complex treatment in people with Fibromyalgia, run by Fundacio d'Investigacio en Atencio Primaria Jordi Gol i Gurina at 1 site in Spain.
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 3 inclusion and 6 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 7 Sep 2023. 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 Spain. 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?
Change in life quality (time frame: change from life quality at 3, 9 and 15 months after the beginning of the study). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04049006, which also lists 7 linked publications.
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 7 Sep 2023.
