This study tests a new, noninvasive ultrasound device that uses sound waves to stimulate the brain, aiming to reduce pain and improve daily life for people with fibromyalgia. About 50 adults with fibromyalgia will receive six 45-minute treatment sessions over two weeks. Researche…

This study looks at why people with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia) often feel worse after exercise. Researchers will test if a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS, applied during exercise, can reduce pain and fatigue. They will also study genetic changes i…

This study collects health information from up to 10,000 people with conditions like Long COVID, ME/CFS, and autoimmune diseases. Participants use a phone app to share symptoms, wearables data, and lifestyle details. The goal is to help researchers better understand these illness…
