Summary
Most chronic pain patients with insomnia are currently not well-managed using existing
medications. If found to safely improve sleep with chronic pain patients, nabilone could be
added to the treatment options available in the management of fibromyalgia and associated
symptoms.
The principle hypothesis of this study is that nabilone at a dose of 0.5-1mg is as
efficacious as amitriptyline at a dose of 10-20mg, in improving sleep quality in patients
with fibromyalgia.
