The chances that a medication will effectively reduce your fibromyalgia symptoms are usually less than 50 percent and quite often the drug will produce intolerable side effects.

They evaluated the data from four clinical trials involving Lyrica (pregabalin) for the treatment of fibromyalgia to look for an easy measurement that might help predict early on if a drug is drug is worth sticking with.
