Can Sauna-Like heat help chronic pain? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07101978

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how whole-body heat therapy (hyperthermia) changes body temperature, pain sensitivity, and pain during movement in 60 people—half with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia) and half healthy. Participants will receive six heat sessions over three weeks. The goal is to understand how heat affects the body's pain and temperature systems, not to cure or treat the condition.
