NCT ID NCT07023523
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether people with fibromyalgia can learn to control their own brain activity using real-time brain scans (fMRI) to reduce pain. Participants will either receive cognitive behavioral therapy or fibromyalgia education over 8 weeks. The goal is to see if self-regulating brain regions linked to pain can lead to lasting relief.
