The city of Gainesville, Florida, currently has 4 active clinical trials seeking participants for Fibromyalgia research studies.
Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes
Recruiting
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder that afflicts up to 4% of the general population. The evaluation of pain mechanisms in FM has shown predominant central abnormalities and therefore has been designated as nociplastic pain syndrome. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by polyarthritis and pain from inflamed tissues, consistent with nociceptive pain. FM and RA patients may utilize overlapping pain mechanisms resulting in nociceptive and nociplastic pain.

Effects of Breathing and Attention Training (BAT) on Pain Modulation
Recruiting
The hypersensitivity of fibromyalgia is associated with abnormal pain modulation within the CNS, but not with peripheral or central sensitization. Many brain areas that contribute to modulation of pain are known, but their testing is complex and expensive. Quantitative sensory testing is easier to perform and repeatable. Therefore, it will be used to evaluate the effects of Breathing Attention Training (BAT) on the hypersensitivity of FM participants. BAT is a form of mindfulness meditation show... Read More

Generalized Hypersensitivity in Patients With Fibromyalgia Syndrome
Recruiting
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal pain disorder with unknown causes. Our previous studies showed abnormal sensations of second pain (wind-up), indicating central hypersensitivity as an important mechanism of FM. Triggering events have been implicated as the cause of central hypersensitivity.
