ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how living with someone who has fibromyalgia (FM) affects the work life and daily activities of their family members. Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes ongoing pain, tiredness, and emotional challenges for those who have it. This study aims to understand whether the relatives of FM patients face difficulties in their jobs or experience a decrease in their work productivity due to the challenges of caring for someone with this condition.

To participate in the trial, you must be between 18 and 65 years old and live with a person diagnosed with fibromyalgia if you’re in the study group, or with a healthy relative if you’re in the control group. You also need to be working either full-time or part-time. If you live alone or do not have a job, you would not be eligible for this study. Participants can expect to share their experiences and insights about how living with someone with FM impacts their work and daily life. The trial is not recruiting participants yet, but it aims to shed light on an important aspect of living with chronic pain conditions.
