How improvement affects fibromyalgia: A brain study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how women with fibromyalgia perceive their improvement. It uses a brain scan (fMRI) to understand this better. The goal is to help improve treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had fibromyalgia for at least 1 year
- You are a woman between 25 and 55 years old
- Your pain level in the last week is at least 40 out of 100 on a pain scale
- You have been on a stable dose of your fibromyalgia medication (like duloxetine or pregabalin) for at least 6 months
- You can speak, read, and understand Turkish well
- You do not have any metal or electronic devices in your body (like a pacemaker) that would interfere with an MRI scan

This study compares different treatments to help with fibromyalgia pain. It aims to find which approach works better for women with this condition.
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.
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 if an energy healing treatment can help reduce pain in women with fibromyalgia. You will receive both real and sham (fake) energy healing sessions, and have MRI scans to see how your brain responds.
This trial tests whether training the muscles you use to breathe can help reduce pain and improve function in women with fibromyalgia. You'll do simple breathing exercises at home to see if they make a difference.
This study uses MRI brain scans to look for body “signals” (biomarkers) that may relate to chronic pain, including fibromyalgia. It may help researchers better understand what’s going on in the brain for people with long-term pain.
