For some people, they cause side effects that are either dangerous or unpleasant enough to make people go off of them. Still, anyone taking the drug should be aware of these potential risks: There were no significant differences in the acceptability (drop-out rates) between the three drugs (There were no significant effects on pain for AMT and DLX studies conducted in Europe and in AMT studies with industrial support and parallel design (Adjusted relative efficacy and acceptability (indirect estimates from placebo-controlled trials with parallel design) of AMT, DLX and MLN in FMSSignificant comparisons (95% CIs with lower and upper limit <1 or >1) are marked as bold.Adjusted relative efficacy and acceptability (indirect estimates from placebo-controlled trials with parallel design) of AMT, DLX and MLN in FMSSignificant comparisons (95% CIs with lower and upper limit <1 or >1) are marked as bold.Visual inspection of the funnel plots of the AMT studies was not suggestive of a publication bias. Introduction FM syndrome (FMS) can be diagnosed by a history of a typical cluster of key symptoms (chronic widespread pain, physical fatigue, cognitive disturbances and unrestorative sleep) and the exclusion of a somatic disease that sufficiently explains the symptoms [ 1 , 2 ].
