Can online therapy rewire the Brain's pain response in fibromyalgia?
NCT ID NCT07054333
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to objectively measure how internet-based exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Exp-CBT) affects pain regulation in people with fibromyalgia. About 45 participants will undergo pain tests before and after 10 weeks of online therapy to see if their pain thresholds, tolerance, and pain inhibition change. The goal is to understand the mechanisms behind the treatment, not to test its effectiveness directly.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Internet-delivered exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy (Exp-CBT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could reveal how online therapy changes the brain's pain processing, leading to more effective treatments for fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early mechanistic study with no control group, so results may not prove cause and effect or apply to all patients. The therapy may not work for everyone.
