The Use of Rotigotine for Treatment of Reducing Signs and Symptoms of Fibromyalgia in Adults.

The overall post-Baseline duration of treatment was 13 weeks. The trial consisted of a 4-week Titration Phase, an 8-week Maintenance Phase, a 1-week De-escalation Phase, and a 2-week Safety Follow-Up Phase. If subjects met the eligibility criteria, they were randomized to receive rotigotine 4 mg/24 hrs, rotigotine 8 mg/24 hrs, or placebo during the Maintenance Phase. During the 4-week Titration Phase, subjects assigned to rotigotine were titrated at weekly intervals of 2 mg/24 hrs until they reached 4 mg/24 hrs or 8 mg/24 hrs. All subjects who completed the 4-week Titration Phase entered an 8-week Maintenance Phase and were maintained at their randomized dose (rotigotine 4 mg/24 hrs, rotigotine 8 mg/24 hrs, or placebo). No dose adjustment was allowed during the Maintenance Phase. The Treatment Phase was defined as the combined Titration and Maintenance Phases.
