What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether problems with brain cells that control movement cause fatigue in fibromyalgia. Researchers compared 37 women (some with fibromyalgia, some healthy) by measuring muscle signals during foot exercises, including when they were cheered on. The goal was to see if cheering affects these signals differently in fibromyalgia patients, which could point to a brain-based cause of fatigue.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward new ways to understand and treat fatigue in fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with only 37 participants. It does not test a treatment, so results may not lead to direct therapies.
