A smartphone app may ease fibromyalgia — a 360-person trial investigates
NCT ID NCT05962437
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a smartphone app called STANZA, which delivers a type of talk therapy known as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), can improve daily function and well-being in people with fibromyalgia. Researchers will compare three groups: those using the app plus usual care, those using a symptom-tracking app plus usual care, and those receiving usual care alone. The study aims to see if the app reduces pain-related disability and stress, and whether it is cost-effective.
