Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this research offer me an opportunity for involvement?

"Individuals that suffer from fibromyalgia and fit within the age bracket of 18 to 75 can apply for this trial. Approximately 99 applicants are being sought out."

Answered by AI

Is the age requirement for applicants to this clinical study restricted to those over 55 years old?

"In order to be eligible for this experiment, participants must not exceed 75 years of age and should have reached the legal age of adulthood."

Answered by AI

Are enrollment opportunities available for this clinical experiment?

"Per clinicaltrials.gov, this medical trial is not recruiting participants at present. Initially posted on February 3rd 2017 and last modified June 6th 2022, the study has temporarily ceased recruitment. Fortunately, there are 98 other studies actively welcoming candidates right now."

Answered by AI

What are the core aims of this investigation?

"The primary outcome of this trial, which is to be measured both before and after exercise, is Conditioned Pain Modulation. Secondary objectives include recording the impact of pain on daily activities using a 6-item questionnaire (PROMIS Short Form v1.0), gauging patients' capacity for voluntary muscle activation in their biceps via constant current stimulation with an isokinetic dynamometer, and noting changes in heart rate following activity."
