Spa therapy for the treatment of fibromyalgia: an open, randomized multicenter trial

Fibromyalgia is a common chronic pain pathology with an incidence of 4.3 per 1000 person-years. An open, randomized clinical trial of patients with fibromyalgia comparing an immediate vs. delayed 18-day spa therapy in five spa therapy care facilities in France enrolled 220 patients. Randomization was in blocks of four, stratified by center, severity of fibromyalgia and previous spa therapy. Patients continued usual treatment. The main endpoint was the number of patients achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) at 6 months, defined as 14% change in their baseline fibromyalgia impact questionnaire (FIQ) score.
