Could specially treated water ease fibromyalgia pain?
NCT ID NCT07659236
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study investigates whether drinking plasma-activated water—water treated with light and nano gold particles to create smaller water clusters—can safely improve symptoms in people with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain. Researchers will measure changes in blood markers of oxidative stress and overall symptom relief in 80 adults aged 20 to 75. The goal is to see if this simple dietary supplement can reduce pain and fatigue without side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Plasma-activated water
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug option to help manage fibromyalgia pain and fatigue.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The water's effects are still unproven in humans for this condition.
