Virtual reality exercise program for fibromyalgia pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a virtual reality exercise program that changes how you see your own movements can help reduce pain and improve function in people with fibromyalgia. You would do the exercises at home using a headset, and researchers will check if this approach works better than standard exercise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (age 18 or older) with a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia.
- You have at least moderate pain – a score of 3 or higher on a 0-10 pain scale.
- You can understand and follow instructions from the research team.
- You do not have any other health condition that would make virtual reality or exercise unsafe (like severe vision/hearing problems, or a balance disorder).
- You are not planning to start new medications, change current treatments, or join another exercise program during the study.
