NCT ID NCT07202572
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This Mayo Clinic study tests whether a virtual reality meditation program called TRIPP can reduce the impact of fibromyalgia. Forty adults with fibromyalgia will use either the active VR meditation or a sham (fake) VR experience for two weeks each. Researchers will measure changes in symptoms like pain, fatigue, and daily function using a standard questionnaire.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Virtual reality meditation program (TRIPP VR)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a drug-free, at-home option to help manage fibromyalgia symptoms like pain and fatigue.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 people. The sham VR may also provide some benefit, making it hard to prove the active version is better. Results may not apply to everyone with fibromyalgia.
