About this study
This trial is testing if self-regulating brain activity can help people with fibromyalgia. Participants will use real-time fMRI neurofeedback to observe and control their own brain activity while using mental strategies to reduce pain. It involves MRI scans, neurofeedback tasks, and weekly sessions with a pain psychologist.
Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.
