Summary

Fibromyalgia is a complex chronic disorder in which emerging evidence suggests a relevant role of the gut microbiota in modulating physiological processes through the gut-brain axis. In this context, probiotics have been proposed as a potential therapeutic strategy for symptom management in fibromyalgia.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a multispecies probiotic formulation administered over 12 weeks on pain and fatigue in patients with fibromyalgia. Secondary outcomes included sleep disturbances, cognitive function, and emotional symptoms.

This was a quadruple-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either a daily capsule of a multispecies probiotic (Teoliance HPi10, Therascience) containing Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-3, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Bifidobacterium BS01, Lactobacillus plantarum BG112, Streptococcus thermophilus SP4, Lactobacillus casei LCO3, and Lactobacillus reuteri LR92, or placebo, for 12 weeks. Clinical outcomes were assessed using validated questionnaires including VAS, BPI, SF-36, MOS, HADS, and FIQ.
