This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled exploratory trial to investigate efficacy and safety of food supplement IGN-ES001 in patients with chronic widespread pain (CWP) with or without fibromyalgia (FM).
Patients will perform five scheduled on-site visits and five phone calls: * Screening visit, V1 (Day -10 to -7), informed consent * Baseline visit, V2 (Day 1), randomization, treatment start * Phone call, V3 (Day 4 ± 1) * Phone call, V4 (Day 8 ± 3) * Phone call, V5 (Day 15 ± 3) * On-site visit, V6 (Day 22 ± 3) * Phone call, V7 (Day 29 ± 3) * Phone call, V8 (Day 36 ± 3) * On-site visit, V9 (Day 43 + 3), treatment end * Follow-up on-site visit, V10 (Day 50 + 7, or 7 + 7 days after EDV). In addition, patients may be asked to return to the trial site between scheduled visits for assessment of safety data (unscheduled visits). The maximum duration of treatment for the individual patient will be 46 days (including allowed visit window deviation). The maximum duration of trial participation for the individual patient will be 67 days.

Pain, final percent changes from baseline (based on diary), univariate analysis
The overall pain improvement will be assessed by means of the percent changes from baseline (Visit 2) to end of treatment visit (Visit 9). Percent changes are preferred to raw changes due to their implicit adjustment for baseline differences in the case of proportional decrease. The baseline pain value will be calculated as mean overall pain of the last seven-day time period of the screening phase from Day -7 to Day -1. Minimum the last 6 out of 7 days prior to baseline visit V2 must be documented. The final pain value will be calculated as mean overall pain of the last seven-day time period prior to the end of the adjunctive treatment period from Day 36 to Day 42.
Time frame: Six Weeks
Pain, final percent changes from baseline (based on diary), multivariate analysis
In addition to the univariate analysis of the overall pain score, a correlation-sensitive multidimensional approach will be performed with respect to the two major pain activity levels: * Pain at rest (sum score of three locations), percent change from baseline * Pain perceived during physical strain (sum score of three locations), percent change from baseline
Time frame: Six Weeks
Pain, final responder (based on diary)
Responders will be defined as patients with a percent decrease from baseline of the overall pain score by at least 30%. This is a recommended benchmark for a "clinically meaningful improvement" (Farrar et al.), and provides robustness in case of proportional pain decrease (independency from baseline pain level). Tubach et al. (2012) defined a percent decrease of 20% as minimal clinically important change. Thus, the recommendation of Farrar et al. is regarded as optimum choice for a clinically meaningful responder definition.

Patient's Global Impression of Change (PCIG) Questionnaire
"The patients will rate their change in the overall status "since the start of the study, my overall status is" on a scale ranging from 1 (= very much improved) to 7 (= very much worse). Patients will complete the PGIC questionnaire at visit 9 (or at Early Discontinuation Visit) covering the whole 6-week treatment period from baseline visit 2."
