Fibromyalgia, brain sensitivity and thinking
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain's pain sensitivity (central sensitization) relates to memory and thinking problems in people with fibromyalgia. Participating could help doctors understand and treat these symptoms better.

This study looks at how fibromyalgia affects your sensitivity to pain and your sense of balance. It may help find better ways to treat these symptoms.
This trial measures two brain-related proteins (S100B and BDNF) in women with fibromyalgia compared to healthy women. It aims to find out if these proteins are linked to fibromyalgia symptoms, which could lead to better understanding or new treatments.
This study looks at how fibromyalgia affects thinking skills like memory and focus. It aims to understand which factors are linked to these cognitive changes in women with fibromyalgia.
This study looks at how the brain and nerves process pain in people with knee pain or fibromyalgia. It compares them to pain-free people to understand differences in muscle signals.
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.
