Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effect of cannabidiol 50 mg compared to cannabidiolplacebo, on change in pain intensity from baseline to week 24.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of cannabidiol 50 mg, compared to cannabidiolplacebo, on changes in the following secondary key endpoints: Sleep quality and duration, activities of daily living, quality of life from baseline to week 24.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is change in pain intensity, measured on a 0-10 Pain Numeric Rating scale (NRS) included in the revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ-R).
