Abstract: Fifty patients with generalized tendomyopathy (fibromyalgia) were divided into 2 groups each 25 patients, receiving either 6 acupuncture treatments or 6 placebo treatments with a disconnected laser equipment. The change in pain threshhold was documented before and after treatment on two body schemes (pain score) by way of a visual anagogue scale and by dolorimetry. Significant differences between acupuncture- and placebo-treatment in all 3 methods of pain evaluation could be registered. In a written inquiry 3 months after the last treatment, no significant changes could be traced, even when the patients of the acupuncture group showed a Trend to better results than the placebo group.
