A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of Growth Hormone in the Treatment of Fibromyalgia
Am J Med 104:227-231, Bennett,R.M.,et al, 1998
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Women with fibromyalgia and low IGF-1 levels experienced an improvement in their overall symptomatology and number of tender points after 9 months of daily growth hormone therapy.This suggests that a secondary growth hormone deficiency may be responsible for some of the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
