Has anyone else studied the guaifenesin treatment?
Dr. Robert Bennett of Oregon conducted a double-blind study of the guaifenesin treatment in 1993-94 under Dr. St. Amand’s advisorship. Dr. Bennett claims the study shows that guaifenesin has no more effect than a placebo on fibromyalgia. The results of his study were presented as a poster at the annual meeting of the Rheumatology Association in Orlando, FL, in 1996. Dr. St. Amand’s office has more information on the study. Despite disagreements, the two doctors remain friends.
