First seen Jun 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times

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.
