Safety study of AXS-14 for fibromyalgia
This study continues to monitor the safety of an investigational drug called AXS-14 in people with fibromyalgia who previously participated in another AXS-14 trial. Researchers want to make sure the treatment remains safe over time.

Testing esreboxetine for fibromyalgia relief
This study tests a medicine called esreboxetine to see if it helps people with fibromyalgia. First, everyone gets the medicine, then some may switch to a placebo to see if the medicine keeps working better than no treatment.

Vagus nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
This trial tests if a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve can help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. It is a potential treatment option for those who have had persistent pain for at least three months.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06066853RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MDMA plus therapy for fibromyalgia pain
This trial tests whether MDMA (a drug sometimes called 'ecstasy') can help people with fibromyalgia when used alongside therapy sessions. The goal is to see if it reduces pain and improves quality of life.

Cognitive training with acupuncture for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests whether a type of mental training (cognitive training) can help your brain respond better to acupuncture for fibromyalgia pain. You would receive acupuncture while doing a thinking task, and the study will use brain scans to see how your brain changes.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT07023523Recruiting
Controlling brain activity for chronic pain
This study tests if people with fibromyalgia can learn to control their own brain activity using real-time feedback from an MRI machine to reduce pain. It is designed to help those with long-term chronic pain find new ways to manage it.

What taking part in a fibromyalgia study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
