This study tests different physiotherapy techniques to help women with fibromyalgia manage pain and improve daily function. It compares several hands-on therapies to find the most effective approach.
This trial tests whether a nerve stimulation technique can help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. It is open to women with a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia who have had symptoms for at least three months.
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 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.
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.
