Szczegółowy opis

Fibromyalgia syndrome occurs in around 2% of the population (predominantly women), and is characterized by its poor response to conventional therapies. Therapeutic approaches modulating inhibitory pathways, including pharmacologic options as pregabalin, and non pharmacological ones as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have been proven to be of limited utility independently. Aiming to evaluate a better understanding of the pathophysiogenic mechanisms and the effect of these treatments on neuroplasticity, this study was designed evaluating neurophysiologic, neurochemical and clinical parameters. Neurophysiologic parameters and functions to be assessed will include pain threshold, motor evoked potential, silent period, intracortical facilitation and inhibition assessed by Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and optic functional neuroimaging. Neurochemical measurements considered will be neurotrophins (BDNF) and inflammatory mediators (TNF, IL1, IL6, IL10 and cortisol). Clinical characteristics will be assessed using validated scales capable to detect functional capacity, quality of life (WHOCOHL), catastrophism, sleep disruptions (Pittsburgh) and depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory). Considering the above described hypothesis, the present randomized clinical trial with blinded patients and evaluators is proposed. It pretends to analyze short-, mid- and long-term neurobiological mechanisms triggered by the selected interventions.

Pozorny komparator: Pregabalin, Sham tDCS
Patients will receive pregabalin 150 mg oral (PO) twice per day (BID), and sham transcranial direct current stimulation (sham tDCS) five times per week during 2 weeks, and then twice per week until week 8th. The sham tDCS consists of the same montage of the active tDCS, but the device is turned off 30 seconds after initiating stimulation (without letting the patient notice it). Rest of the montage is kept identical as the active one during the 30 minutes that the session lasts.
Lek: Pregabalin
Pregabalin 150 mg per oral BID (i.e. twice per day).

Patients will receive pregabalin 150 mg oral(PO) twice per day (BID), and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) five times per week during 2 weeks, and then twice per week until week 8th. The tDCS consists of application of low intensity direct current (2 mA), with the anode placed in the dominant motor cortex (M1) and the cathode in the ipsilateral supraorbital region during 30 minutes each session, using sponge electrodes soaked with normal saline solution.
