Electrical stimulation vs myofascial release for fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for fibromyalgia: electrical muscle stimulation and myofascial release (a type of massage). The goal is to see which one improves quality of life better.

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 two different ways of using a wearable electrical stimulation suit to reduce pain and other symptoms of fibromyalgia. It is a double-blind, sham-controlled trial, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know which method you receive until the study ends.
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 study compares two treatments—likely massage and shockwave therapy—to see which works better for fibromyalgia pain and symptoms. It aims to help find more effective ways to manage this chronic pain condition.
This study tests if combining physical exercise with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve pain, sleep, and fatigue in people with fibromyalgia.
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.
