Researchers probe pain pathways in two common chronic conditions
NCT ID NCT05277025
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how pain is processed in people with fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, two conditions that cause long-term pain. Researchers will measure pressure pain thresholds in 150 adults to compare pain mechanisms. The goal is to better understand the differences and overlaps in how these conditions cause pain.
