The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin versus placebo for the symptomatic relief of pain associated with fibromyalgia. If this objective is met, then the second objective will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pregabalin versus placebo for the management of fibromyalgia (pain, patient global assessment, and functional status).
