title: [Rheumajecta and Vasolastine treatment of primary fibromyalgia; results of a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study].
abstract: Rheumajecta and Vasolastine (R and V) are preparations belonging to complementary medicine. They are applied in rheumatic conditions such as primary fibromyalgia. In this double-blind, modified cross-over trial, the effect of R and V injections was compared with that of placebo over two periods of three months in 30 patients with primary fibromyalgia. No significant differences in effectiveness between R and V and placebo were seen. There were no serious side-effects. R and V are not indicated for primary fibromyalgia unless no more effect than that of placebo is intended.
