NCT ID NCT06226376
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special suit called EXOPULSE Mollii can help adults with fibromyalgia feel less pain, fatigue, and depression. Twenty-eight participants wore either the active suit or a sham (fake) suit for two weeks, then had a washout period. After that, everyone could try the active suit for four more weeks. The goal was to see if the suit improves daily function and overall well-being.
