Summary

This study will test whether guided walks in a forest can reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life in 70 adults with fibromyalgia. Participants will take slow, sensory-focused walks in nature, while researchers measure pain levels and medication use. The goal is to see if this drug-free approach can be a helpful addition to standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: forest therapy (guided nature walks with sensory exercises)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a drug-free way to manage fibromyalgia pain and reduce reliance on painkillers.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with no blinding, so results may be influenced by placebo effects. The benefit may not apply to all fibromyalgia patients.
