A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Tongluo Kaibi Tablets in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Sponsor: Guang'anmen Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences
Summary
Fibromyalgia is a chronic, disabling musculoskeletal pain disorder. Pregabalin is the sole pharmaceutical agent approved for the treatment of fibromyalgia in China. Tongluo Kaibi Tablet, an approved proprietary Chinese medicine with collaterals-dredging and blood-activating effects, has demonstrated potential therapeutic benefits for fibromyalgia in preliminary small-scale observational studies, yet high-quality large-sample clinical evidence remains lacking. This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy parallel-controlled clinical trial was conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Tongluo Kaibi Tablet in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome.

Tongluo Kaibi Tablet
Tongluo Kaibi Tablet is composed of eight Chinese herbal medicines: Nux Vomica Powder, Radix Cyathulae, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Flos Carthami, Fructus Chaenomelis, Herba Schizonepetae, Radix Saposhnikoviae and Scorpio. It dispels wind and unblocks collaterals, activates blood circulation and dissipates stagnation. It is indicated for joint pain and swelling caused by intermingled cold-heat complicated with blood stasis obstructing collaterals. Since its launch, it has been widely used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases.
