  1. aBaseline is defined as the randomization visit in this study. BPI = Brief Pain Inventory; FIQR = Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire; MAF = Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue; MCS = Mental Component Summary; PCS = Physical Component Summary; SF-36 = Short Form-36 Health Survey; VAS = Visual Analogue Scale. bBaseline value from lead-in study prior to first milnacipran exposure.
