Background.
Fibromyalgia (FMS) is a challenging condition for health care systems worldwide.
Only limited trial data is available for FMS for outcomes of complex treatment interventions of complementary and integrative (CIM) approaches.
Methods.
We conducted a controlled, nonrandomized feasibility study that compared outcomes in 21 patients treated with Ayurveda with those of 11 patients treated with a conventional approach at the end of a two-week inpatient hospital stay.
Primary outcome was the impact of fibromyalgia on patients as assessed by the FIQ.
Secondary outcomes included scores of pain intensity, pain perception, depression, anxiety, and quality of sleep.
Follow-up assessments were done after 6 months.
Results.
At 2 weeks, there were comparable and significant improvements in the FIQ and for most of secondary outcomes in both groups with no significant in-between-group differences.
The beneficial effects for both treatment groups were partly maintained for the main outcome and a number of secondary outcomes at the 6-month followup, again with no significant in-between-group differences.
Discussion.
The findings of this feasibility study suggest that Ayurvedic therapy is noninferior to conventional treatment in patients with severe FMS.
Since Ayurveda was only used as add-on treatment, RCTs on Ayurveda alone are warranted to increase model validity.
This trial is registered with NCT01389336.
