NCT ID NCT07280273
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether two 90-minute pain science education sessions can help 54 adults with fibromyalgia living in rural Spain. The sessions aim to change how patients think about pain, using simple language and metaphors. Researchers will measure pain sensitivity, daily function, and emotional well-being before, right after, and three months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pain Science Education (educational sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help people with fibromyalgia feel less pain and improve daily life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants. The benefits may be modest or not last long, and results may not apply to everyone with fibromyalgia.
