NCT ID NCT07677631

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This study evaluates a questionnaire called the Emotional Allodynia Questionnaire (AEQ), which measures how people with fibromyalgia react emotionally to everyday social cues. Researchers want to see if the tool can reliably identify fibromyalgia and tell it apart from other types of chronic pain. The study involves adults with fibromyalgia and those with other pain conditions, but does not test any treatment.
