Fibromyalgia pain device study pulled before it even started
NCT ID NCT05394610
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aimed to see if a device called Sana could improve quality of life for people with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes long-term pain. Researchers planned to compare the active device to a sham (fake) device in adults aged 18 to 65 who had fibromyalgia symptoms for at least three years. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
