NCT ID NCT05941780
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at 65 people with fibromyalgia to figure out what kind of pain they have—nerve pain, tissue pain, or a mixed type. Researchers used a special checklist and simple tests like brushing the skin or pressing with a tool. The goal is to help doctors choose better treatments for each person's pain type.
