Ultrasonic Neuromodulation for Fibromyalgia Pain
This study is looking into a new way to help people with fibromyalgia (widespread body pain and tenderness). It's testing a device called DIADEM, which uses focused ultrasound (sound waves) to stimulate a specific part of the brain called the cingulate cortex. The main goal is to see if this treatment can reduce your pain. You might be able to join if you are at least 22 years old and meet the criteria for fibromyalgia. The study will measure pain using a scale called NRS-11 (Numerical Rating Scale - 11) 28 days after your first treatment. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 180 participants.

What this trial measures
- Numerical Rating Scale - 11 (NRS-11) pain score28 days following initial treatment
The NRS-11 is a scale from 0-10 with higher values representing higher levels of pain.
