It affects population at a socioeconomically active age and represents a burden for the patients and the health care system due to its personal and functional implications. At this moment, there is no completely effective treatment for fibromyalgia, and acupuncture has been a promising alternative. This trial aims to evaluate if addition of acupuncture to standard care represents an improvement in comparison with standard care only. Thus, patients enrolled in this trial will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: group A, who besides standard treatment will receive 12 sessions of acupuncture; and group B, who will receive standard care with monthly orientation sessions for the same period. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, after completion of acupuncture treatment or orientation, and after an additional 12-week follow up. Evaluation will be based on diaries of pain and medication, and standard scales of pain, quality of life and disability.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '60 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia\n* elementary school\n* drug treatment for at least 30 days (if any)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* disabling mental condition\n* other rheumatic conditions\n* other chronic medical conditions with musculoskeletal symptoms\n* pregnancy\n* conditions that impair walking\n* conditions that impair weekly consultations\n* acupuncture treatment in the twelve-month period prior to enrollment\n* diabetes mellitus'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01189994', 'briefTitle': 'Trial of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Santa Casa da Misericordia do Rio de Janeiro Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial of Acupuncture Effectiveness in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'SCMRJH-001'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Acupuncture', 'description': 'Patients will receive acupuncture treatment in addition to standard care, coming to twelve weekly acupuncture sessions', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Acupuncture']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Orientation', 'description': 'Patients will receive standard care only, coming to three monthly orientation sessions', 'interventionNames': ['Behavioral: Orientation']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Acupuncture', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Needling of acupoints, some of them receiving electrostimulation', 'armGroupLabels': ['Acupuncture']}, {'name': 'Orientation', 'type': 'BEHAVIORAL', 'description': 'Orientation sessions focusing in fibromyalgia', 'armGroupLabels': ['Orientation']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'city': 'Rio de Janeiro', 'state': 'Rio de Janeiro', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Brazil', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Fernando P de Farias, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'fernandopfarias@gmail.com', 'phone': '(+5521) 9263-8673'}, {'name': 'Fernando P de Farias, MD, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR'}, {'name': 'Washington Bianchi, MD', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}, {'name': 'Orlando J Goncalves Filho, MD', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'Santa Casa da Misericordia do Rio de Janeiro Hospital; Instituto de Acupuntura do Rio de Janeiro', 'geoPoint': {'lat': -22.90642, 'lon': -43.18223}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Fernando P de Farias, MD, PhD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'fernandopfarias@gmail.com', 'phone': '(+5521) 9263-8673'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Fernando P de Farias, MD, PhD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'Santa Casa da Misericordia do Rio de Janeiro Hospital'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'Santa Casa da Misericordia do Rio de Janeiro Hospital', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Fernando Farias, MD, PhD', 'oldOrganization': 'Santa Casa da Misericordia do Rio de Janeiro Hospital'}}}}
