This study compares different health measurements between women with fibromyalgia and healthy women to better understand the condition. If you join, you will help researchers learn more about fibromyalgia.
This study compares how people with fibromyalgia and those with other long-term pain conditions experience emotional pain (like feeling hurt by emotions). You will fill out a questionnaire about emotional sensitivity. The goal is to see if emotional allodynia (pain from emotions) is more common in fibromyalgia.
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.
This study aims to adapt a questionnaire about pain into Turkish and check if it works well. Researchers want to see if the questions are understandable and reliable for people with certain types of pain.
This study tests a mind-body (psychosomatic) approach for people with fibromyalgia to see if it can help manage symptoms. It is not a medication trial, but a psychological treatment program.
