EEG Biofeedback for Fibromyalgia Symptom Reduction

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain in the muscles and bones, often accompanied by fatigue, sleep issues, cognitive problems, psychological distress, and difficulty performing daily tasks. Current treatments offer only partial relief, leaving many FM patients still struggling with persistent disabilities. This has led to an increased interest in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) therapies. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a specific type of electroencephalograph (EEG) biofeedback, known as Low Energy Neurofeedback System (LENS), in reducing FM symptoms. In this study, participants are randomly assigned to receive either LENS treatment or a placebo across several sessions. The treatment's effectiveness is measured using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, which assesses participants at the end of the study, as well as during follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months. The primary goal is to determine if LENS can provide significant relief from FM symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for those living with this condition.
