Summary

This study tests whether a noninvasive ultrasound device can reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. 180 adults will receive either real or sham ultrasound to a brain area linked to pain, over four sessions in one month. Researchers will track pain scores and symptom impact for 16 weeks to see if the treatment works.

What this could mean

Active substance

Focused ultrasound (DIADEM device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new, noninvasive way to ease fibromyalgia pain without drugs or surgery.

What could go wrong

This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results may not confirm effectiveness. The treatment is temporary (4 sessions) and may not provide lasting relief.
