New study tests exercise and nerve zaps for fibromyalgia relief
NCT ID NCT07242573
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether personalized exercise and a gentle nerve stimulation device can reduce pain, improve sleep, and ease fatigue in people with fibromyalgia. About 75 adults with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue will be split into three groups: one gets exercise plus standard therapy, another gets nerve stimulation plus standard therapy, and a control group gets only standard therapy. The goal is to find better ways to manage symptoms without relying on medication.
