FIBROMYALGIA (FM)

This study tests if artificial intelligence can analyze facial expressions to recognize pain in people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread body pain. Researchers will also check saliva for biological markers of pain. 61 fibromyalgia patients and 61 healthy volunteer…

This study looks at whether adding osteopathic care (a type of hands-on therapy) to a flexible low-FODMAP diet helps reduce IBS symptoms more than a sham (fake) treatment in people with both fibromyalgia and IBS. About 96 adults will receive four sessions of real or sham osteopat…

This study looks at whether two natural supplements—silymarin (from milk thistle) and a hesperidin/diosmin combination (from citrus)—can help manage pain, reduce inflammation, and improve quality of life in people with fibromyalgia. About 90 adults with confirmed fibromyalgia wil…

This study looks at how three different levels of physical activity (45, 90, or 150 minutes per week) affect arthritis symptoms like pain and physical function. Researchers will enroll 285 adults with arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, or lupus. …

This study tests a type of talk therapy called emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET) for people with lupus who also have fibromyalgia or chronic widespread pain. The goal is to see if it is safe and can reduce pain and other symptoms. Thirty adults will attend 8 weekl…

This study tests a new, noninvasive ultrasound device that uses sound waves to stimulate the brain, aiming to reduce pain and improve daily life for people with fibromyalgia. About 50 adults with fibromyalgia will receive six 45-minute treatment sessions over two weeks. Researche…

This study explores whether a structured program of dog-assisted therapy can help people with fibromyalgia feel less pain, anxiety, and depression. Sixty adults with confirmed fibromyalgia will take part in 10 sessions with a therapy dog and be followed for a year. The goal is to…

This study tests whether very short, gentle exercise sessions (called microdoses) can improve physical fitness, reduce pain, and boost quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia causes widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. The study will involve 36 women doi…

This study tests if a safe, at-home brain stimulation method (tDCS) works as well as the drug duloxetine for easing fibromyalgia symptoms like widespread pain, tiredness, and poor sleep. About 610 women will receive either real tDCS plus a placebo pill, duloxetine plus fake tDCS,…

This study is collecting health information from up to 10,000 people with conditions like Long COVID, ME/CFS, and autoimmune diseases. Participants use a smartphone app to share symptoms, health history, and wearable data. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and help…

This study looks at why people with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia) often feel more pain and fatigue after exercise. Researchers want to understand the genetic and brain chemistry behind this. They will test if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS, g…
