ClinConnect Summary

The clinical trial titled "Mollii Suit and Fibromyalgia (EXOFIB 2)" is studying how a special wearable device called the Exopulse Mollii suit can help improve symptoms in adults with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and mood issues. The trial compares the effects of the active suit to a "sham" or inactive version to see if it can reduce pain, improve quality of life, and enhance overall well-being. Participants will first take part in a 2-week phase where they will use either the active suit or the sham suit, followed by a second phase where everyone will use the active suit for four weeks to understand its benefits.

To join the study, participants must be between 18 and 75 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia for at least one month. They should be able to follow simple verbal instructions. However, those with certain medical conditions or who are currently involved in other research studies may not be eligible. If you decide to participate, you can expect to help researchers learn more about this promising treatment while potentially experiencing improvements in your symptoms.
