About
This study aims to study the clinical effects of Energy Healing using fMRI and determine its application to Fibromyalgia patients. We also want to find out how active Energy Healing compares to sham Energy Healing in terms of brain connectivity and pain interference scores.
Full description
The primary objective is to investigate the effects of energy healing as compared to sham EH on brain connectivity of the insula/salience network, sensory motor network, and default mode network as primary outcomes using fcMRI.
The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of EH in reducing clinical pain severity and interference (secondary outcomes) and their relationship to brain connectivity (secondary outcomes) as compared to placebo/sham EH.
The exploratory objective is to understand the effects of EH versus sham EH on brain functional response to visual stimuli, insular glutamate, heart rate variability, mood, sleep, and fatigue symptoms in fibromyalgia patients (all exploratory outcomes).
