There are currently 32 active clinical trials seeking participants for Fibromyalgia research studies. The states with the highest number of trials for Fibromyalgia participants are Florida, California, Ohio and Texas.
Pain Processing in Inflammatory and Non-Inflammatory Chronic Pain Syndromes
NCT05277025
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.

Mindfulness Intervention for Fibromyalgia Delivered Through a Smartphone App
NCT07032519
Recruiting
The purpose of this pilot feasibility study is to evaluate the effects of a smartphone-based mindfulness intervention (MBI) on pain-related outcomes in individuals with fibromyalgia. This 8-week randomized controlled trial will compare an MBI app group to a control group who completes assessments only through the app. The MBI intervention includes weekly video content focused on mindfulness practice and psychoeducation, combined with daily symptom tracking through the app. Participants in both...

Effects of Breathing and Attention Training (BAT) on Pain Modulation
NCT05773482
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

The Effects of Core Shamanism in Fibromyalgia
NCT06579261
Recruiting
This study aims to determine the feasibility of a shamanism intervention for patients with fibromyalgia, acquire efficacy data to determine if Shamanism reduces clinical pain and other common symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, and determine if the Shamanism intervention changes heart rate electrocardiogram (ECG), breathing rate, and brain wave electroencephalogram (EEG) outcomes in fibromyalgia patients and shamanic practitioners. The investigators hypothesize that 80% of individuals will c... Read More

Duloxetine Metabolism and Fibromyalgia
NCT06866444
Recruiting
People with fibromyalgia report generalized body pain ("pain all over"), increased sensitivity to painful stimulation, chronic tiredness or low energy, sleep problems, and other physical and functional problems. The exact cause of the disorder is poorly understood, and treatment can be difficult. The degree to which duloxetine is helpful for people with fibromyalgia varies greatly. For some people, it is very helpful for managing fibromyalgia symptoms. For others, people may not notice any bene... Read More

Explosive Synchronization of Brain Network Activity in Chronic Pain
NCT04606095
Recruiting
This project is being conducted to evaluate the impact of explosive synchronization (ES) and its treatment with non-invasive brain stimulation in fibromyalgia (FM). The study design has three components, however, only 2 aims are enrolling participants. The first part (Aim1) is a cross sectional assessment of brain network explosive synchronization activity, connectivity, and response to pain in healthy controls and age and sex-matched fibromyalgia patients; the third part (Aim 3) is a longitudin...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation(VNS) As Treatment For Fibromyalgia Patients
NCT06009159
Recruiting
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome with clinical symptoms involving multiple systems. The efficacy of current treatments is inadequate, and more alternative modalities are needed for the management of FM patients. The parasympathetic vagus nerve innervates and integrates sensory, motor, and autonomic systems and has been suggested to play a role in pain modulation. The role of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a treatment option for FM patients is yet to be investigated. The investigators propose to... Read More

Auricular Neuromodulation in Veterans With Fibromyalgia
NCT06415591

PENFS (percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation) is an FDA-cleared acupuncture-like therapy applied to the external ear targeting several cranial nerve branches including the auricular branch of the vagus nerve to improve pain, physical function, and reduce symptoms of opioid withdrawal. PENFS has been previously shown to provide improvements in fibromyalgia, a difficult to treat chronic pain syndrome, which correlate with changes observed using a special kind of MRI called resting state...
