Abstract in brief

  • Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, sleep problems, and fatigue, which significantly impacts quality of life.
  • The review evaluated the effectiveness and safety of anticonvulsant drugs, mainly focusing on pregabalin, based on data from eight studies involving 3,479 participants.
  • Findings suggest sufficient evidence supporting pregabalin's efficacy and safety in treating FM symptoms, while evidence for other anticonvulsants like gabapentin, lacosamide, and levetiracetam remains inconclusive.
