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 two natural supplements—silymarin (milk thistle) and a hesperidin/diosmin combination (citrus flavonoids)—can reduce pain and improve quality of life in people with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare these supplements to standard care in 90 adults.…

This study looks at whether a structured program of dog-assisted therapy can help people with fibromyalgia feel less pain, anxiety, and depression, and improve their daily functioning. About 60 adults with fibromyalgia will take part in 10 sessions with a therapy dog. Researchers…

This study tests if a safe, home-use brain stimulation device (tDCS) works as well as the drug duloxetine for easing fibromyalgia symptoms like pain and fatigue. About 610 women with fibromyalgia will receive either the device, the drug, or a placebo, plus exercise and pain educa…

This study tests a new, noninvasive ultrasound device that stimulates the brain to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain. Fifty adults with fibromyalgia will receive six 45-minute treatments over two weeks. Researchers will measure pain levels and daily function using questionna…

This study tests whether adding osteopathic care (a type of hands-on therapy) to a flexible low-FODMAP diet can further reduce IBS symptoms in people with fibromyalgia. About 96 adults with both conditions will receive either real or sham osteopathic sessions alongside the diet. …

This study tests whether a very short, controlled leg-strengthening exercise program can help women with fibromyalgia feel less pain, move better, and improve their quality of life. About 36 women will do tiny bursts of knee exercises on a special machine. Researchers will measur…

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. It involves 285 adults with arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, or lupus. Participants w…

This study tests whether a type of talk therapy called emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET) can safely reduce widespread pain in people with lupus. Researchers will enroll 30 adults who have both lupus and fibromyalgia or chronic pain. Participants will attend 8 week…

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…
