Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a nurse-led pain neuroscience education (PNE) program compared to a self-management education group in patients with fibromyalgia. The study will assess pain intensity, fibromyalgia severity, pain catastrophizing, and cognitive performance using various validated scales. Additionally, it aims to explore the brain changes associated with PNE through quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG). Participants will be monitored at three time points: baseline, immediately after the intervention, and three months post-intervention.
