Summary

This study will test whether different diets—a very low-calorie ketogenic diet, a Mediterranean diet, or a Mediterranean diet with added probiotics—can reduce pain and improve quality of life in women with fibromyalgia who are overweight or mildly obese. Researchers will track pain, sleep, mood, and gut health over 12 weeks. The goal is to find a practical, non-drug approach to managing fibromyalgia symptoms.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a simple, drug-free way to reduce pain and improve sleep, mood, and daily function in women with fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Dietary changes can be hard to stick with, and the effects may vary from person to person.
