Discomfort and Psychosocial Difficulties in Fibromyalgia
Spain66 participantsStarted 2012-07
Plain-language summary
The patients who were not pain control, are referred to the Chronic Pain Unit so its complexity is greater. Made two different interventions in three groups of people with fibromyalgia. In the first group will proceed to infiltrate the painful area with medication, in the second GPST (Group Problem Solving Technique) and the third group both techniques. GPST will want to identify problems that people associate with fibromyalgia, as well as proposed solutions and it they have been carried out successfully or not. Will be essential to identifying and solving problems and using techniques to increase assertiveness, self-esteem and eliminating negative thoughts. Observing if after performing any of these techniques (infiltration, GPST or both) there is a better quality of life, reduce thoughts of suicide, pain and improves sleep quality. We also analyzed the satisfaction or not with therapies received and perceived usefulness.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
