Exercise and Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining exercise with a gentle brain stimulation technique can help women with fibromyalgia feel better. You may be able to join if you have stable pain and are on steady medications.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special type of strength exercise (isokinetic exercise) to see if it can help women with fibromyalgia feel better and move easier. It may be a good fit if you are generally stable on your current treatments and able to exercise safely.
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation technique can reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia whose pain hasn't improved with standard medications. The goal is to see if stimulating the brain directly might help ease chronic pain.
This trial combines Pilates with special breathing techniques to see if it helps people with fibromyalgia breathe easier, feel less tired, and have a better quality of life. It compares this combined approach to Pilates alone.
This trial tests if a gentle ultrasound treatment aimed at the brain can reduce chronic pain in people with fibromyalgia. It may help those who haven't found relief from standard medications or physical therapy.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. You'll use a small device at home that sends mild electrical currents to your scalp, and researchers will monitor your progress via video calls.
This trial tests whether adding gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to exercise can help people with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia). It aims to see if this combination reduces pain better than exercise alone.
