Completed
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

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 tests whether green light therapy can reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia by calming brain inflammation. Researchers will use brain scans and spinal fluid tests to see how the light affects pain pathways. The trial involves 70 adults with moderate to severe pain who have not found relief from other treatments.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
green light therapy (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could reveal how green light reduces pain, supporting its use as a non-drug treatment for fibromyalgia.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with only 70 participants, focused on understanding mechanisms rather than proving effectiveness. Results may not lead to a treatment.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 70 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Dec 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Dec 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years or older who can speak and understand English * Meets the diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia accroding to the 2016 revisions to the 2010/2011 fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria. * Average numeric pain score of 5 out of 10 or greater over the 10 weeks prior to enrolling in the study, and failure of medical therapy to control their pain. Exclusion Criteria: * Serious mental illness defined as distortions of perception, delusions, hallucinations, and unusual behaviors resulting in loss of contact with reality. This will be assessed during the screening interview. Patients with psychiatric disorders will have their medical record reviewed prior to enrollment * History of color blindness or uncorrected cataracts * Subjects receiving remuneration for their medical condition. * Genotype of low affinity binders for translocator protein, (TSPO), as patients with low affinity binding TSPO may not have adequate uptake for the radioactive tracer used for the PET scan.
