Exercise with brain stimulation for fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining exercise with a type of brain stimulation (neuromodulation) can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. If you are a woman with fibromyalgia and moderate to severe pain, this may be an option for you.

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia who have not found relief from usual pain medications. If you join, you may receive this experimental treatment and help researchers learn if it works.
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 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 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.
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 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.
