EMDR plus brain stimulation for fibromyalgia pain and stress
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether combining EMDR therapy with a mild form of brain stimulation can reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain and trauma-related emotional distress. It may help people whose fibromyalgia is closely linked to past trauma and current anxiety or depression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 to 70 years old
- Have ongoing fibromyalgia pain—an average pain score of at least 4 out of 10 in the past two weeks
- Have experienced a past traumatic event that is still affecting your symptoms
- Have symptoms of depression and/or anxiety currently
- Have been on the same fibromyalgia-related medications for at least the past two weeks

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce chronic pain in fibromyalgia patients. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain and may help relieve widespread pain.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation method (tDCS), combined with a pain coping program, can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. It compares two groups to see if adding brain stimulation makes the coping program more effective.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help reduce pain and improve mood in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand how pain and reward circuits in the brain work.
This study tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with fibromyalgia. It may offer a new option for managing your pain without medication changes.
This trial tests whether a mild ear nerve stimulation device can reduce pain for veterans with fibromyalgia. It also looks at how the brain changes with treatment using MRI scans for some participants.
This study tests if combining physical exercise with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve pain, sleep, and fatigue in people with fibromyalgia.
