NCT ID NCT06948903
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how central sensitization—a heightened pain response common in fibromyalgia—might be linked to cognitive problems like memory and concentration issues. Researchers will assess 100 adults with fibromyalgia using questionnaires and cognitive tests. The goal is to better understand the relationship between pain sensitivity and brain fog, which could guide future care.
