Anti-inflammatory Nutritional Intervention in Patients With Fibromyalgia

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This is a randomized clinical trial, aimed to analyse the effects of a potentially anti-inflammatory nutritional intervention in disease assessment parameters, inflammatory markers, and quality of life of Fibromyalgia patients. Patients in the intervention group will adopt an anti-inflammatory diet and a diet with a low ingestion of fermentable oligo-, di- and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs), for a 3 months period. Group control will adopt a diet based on general recommendations for healthy eating in accordance with the World Health Organization.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Fibromyalgia Behavioral: Anti-inflammatory and low FODMAPs diet Behavioral: General healthy eating Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

The presence of low grade intestinal inflammation has been reported in Fibromyalgia (FM) patients. Other studies associate the persistence of symptoms described in FM to possible alterations of the intestinal microbiota composition, i.e. dysbiosis, with consequent existence of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). A sample of 100 female patients diagnosed with FM, followed-up at Portuguese Rheumathology Institute in Lisbon, will be distributed randomly in two groups. Group 1 will adopt an anti-inflammatory diet, which is characterized by the exemption of the intake of potentially inflammatory foods, namely gluten, dairy and ultra-processed foods, over a consecutive period of 3 months. During the first month, a low FODMAPs diet will be implemented, along with the anti-inflammatory diet, followed by the reintroduction of all fruits and vegetables over a consecutive period of 2 months, for a total of 3 months of intervention. Group 2 will adopt a diet based on general recommendations for healthy eating in accordance with the World Health Organization. The Ethics Committee of the Portuguese Institute of Rheumathology approved this intervention study.

The results of this study are expected to determine whether a change in patient nutrition helps to alleviate symptoms, which would optimize medical intervention.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Anti-inflammatory and low FODMAPs diet
The anti-inflammatory diet is characterized by the exclusion of potential inflammatory foods, such as gluten, dairy and processed food, for three months. During the first month, a low FODMAPs diet will be implemented, followed by the reintroduction of all fruits and vegetables over a consecutive period of 2 months. Additionally, some potentially anti-inflammatory foods will be promoted: Omega-3 through specific fish (tuna fish, salmon, sardine, horse mackerel) and nuts, antioxidant rich foods, such as fruit and vegetables, and the maintenance of glycemic index.
Behavioral: Anti-inflammatory and low FODMAPs diet
Exemption of the intake of potentially inflammatory foods, namely gluten, dairy and processed foods, over a consecutive period of 3 months. During the first month, a low FODMAPs diet will be implemented, along with the anti-inflammatory diet, followed by the reintroduction of all fruits and vegetables over a consecutive period of 2 months.
