Brain training may tame fibromyalgia pain in new trial
NCT ID NCT07050758
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a psychological treatment called Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) for people with chronic widespread pain, including fibromyalgia. PRT teaches patients that pain can come from 'stuck' brain patterns and helps them retrain their brain to stop sending false pain alarms. Fifteen adults will track their pain, mood, and activity multiple times a day during a baseline period and throughout 4-8 weeks of therapy. The goal is to see if PRT reduces pain and improves daily functioning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (a psychological treatment combining education, mindfulness, and exposure techniques)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, drug-free way to manage chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 15 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy requires active participation and may not work for all types of pain.
