Recruiting studies
- NCT07132775Recruiting
Full-body electrical stimulation suit for spasticity and pain
This study tests a full-body suit that delivers gentle electrical pulses to help reduce muscle stiffness, spasms, and pain in people with conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, or other neurological problems. It may help with movement and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT05418218Recruiting
International headache registry for people with headache diagnoses
This study collects information from people who have headaches to better understand different headache types. You may help researchers by keeping headache records and allowing follow-up over time.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 4–99 - NCT07054333Recruiting
Pain regulation after online therapy for fibromyalgia
This study looks at how pain processing changes after internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for fibromyalgia. You will come to Karolinska Institutet for pain tests 3 to 4 times to help researchers understand if the therapy affects how your body handles pain.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT05525598Recruiting
Online therapy for severe body–mind symptom disorders
This trial tests an internet-based treatment program for people with moderate-to-severe functional somatic disorders (long-lasting physical symptoms linked to how the body and brain interact). It may help reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning by offering structured support online.
Aarhus C, DenmarkAges 18–60 - NCT06892977Enrolling by invitation
Stress and pain interaction study
This study looks at how stress affects pain sensitivity and how the brain processes pain. It uses MRI scans to see brain activity while participants experience mild pain, which may help improve pain treatments.
GhentAges 18–55 - NCT06880653Recruiting
Exercise dose study for arthritis pain
This study looks at how different amounts of exercise affect arthritis symptoms. If you have arthritis or a related condition, you may be asked to try a specific weekly exercise goal to see if it helps your pain and mobility.
Columbia, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04939922Recruiting
Headache and dizziness registry for people with headache disorders
This study is a registry, meaning it collects information over time about people with headaches (including migraine, tension-type, and some dizziness-related headaches). It may help researchers better understand these conditions and plan future studies.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 4–99 - NCT06748976Recruiting
Brain activity study during attention tasks
This study looks at how your brain controls attention by measuring brain activity while you perform tasks. It may help researchers understand attention better.
Oro Verde, Entre Ríos ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06583395Enrolling by invitation
Meditation retreat study with fitness tracker
This trial studies people attending a 7-day meditation retreat to see how meditation affects well-being. You will wear a fitness tracker and answer surveys.
Palm Desert, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT06527183Recruiting
Fibromyalgia and small fiber nerve study
This study looks at whether people with fibromyalgia or long-term chronic pain have damage to the small nerve fibers in their skin. Understanding this could help develop better treatments.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18 years+ - NCT05067998Recruiting
Natural medicine and vitamin IV study for overall health
This study looks at whether natural medicine, vitamin IV fluids, and supplements can help people maintain good health. There don’t appear to be specific eligibility limits listed, so many people may be able to join, but you’d still need screening by the study team.
Dover, DelawareAges 21–80 - NCT06208514Recruiting
Brief Pain Exposure Therapy for chronic pain conditions
This study tests a type of talk therapy called Brief Pain Exposure Therapy (BPET) for people with certain chronic pain conditions like fibromyalgia, lupus, or chronic low back pain. It aims to help reduce pain by changing how your brain responds to it.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06157866Recruiting
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 - NCT05901259Recruiting
Tracking routine outcomes using a mobility suit database
This trial sets up a database to follow routine health and mobility outcomes over time. You may be included if you have certain neurological conditions and can safely use the EXOPULSE suit.
Bergshamra, Stockholm CountyAges 2 years+ - NCT05814497Recruiting
Brain scan study of how kids process chronic pain
This study looks at how the brain processes pain sensations in children with certain long-lasting pain conditions. It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the nervous system and guide better treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–17 - NCT05773482Recruiting
Breathing and attention training for fibromyalgia pain
This study tests whether breathing and attention exercises can change how your body controls pain in people with fibromyalgia. It may help you learn non-medication ways to influence pain signals and improve comfort.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05277025Recruiting
Brain pain testing in long-term joint pain and fibromyalgia
This study looks at how the brain processes pain in people with long-term pain conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. You may be asked to undergo pain-related tasks to help researchers understand differences between inflammatory and non-inflammatory chronic pain.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–70 - NCT05068791RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Psilocybin-assisted treatment for long-term body pain
This early trial studies whether psilocybin, given in a supported setting, can reduce long-term widespread musculoskeletal pain (including fibromyalgia-like symptoms). You would be monitored closely and need someone to take you home after the medicine session.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 25–65 - NCT04833465Recruiting
Testing a new outcome measure in kids with rheumatology diseases
This study looks at how to measure treatment success in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), lupus (SLE), or fibromyalgia (FM). It may help doctors track symptoms more reliably over time.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 5–21 - NCT04806620Recruiting
Online app study for brain inflammation lifestyle data
This study uses a digital platform (app/website) to collect lifestyle and symptom information to better understand brain inflammation. You may qualify if you have certain conditions like Long COVID, migraines, autoimmune disease, inflammatory gut issues, mood disorders, or if you are a healthy comparison person.
Delafield, WisconsinAges 2 years+ - NCT03759522RecruitingPhase 1
PET brain scan for inflammation in MS, fibromyalgia, or CFS
This early-stage study tests an imaging medicine ([F-18]DPA-714) that can help researchers see inflammation in the brain and nervous system. It may help doctors better understand how “inflammation signals” differ across conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–65

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fibromyalgia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 142 recruiting fibromyalgia studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fibromyalgia trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fibromyalgia trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
