Fibromyalgia Trial Phases
80 research organizations are sponsoring fibromyalgia trials.
About Fibromyalgia
Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and cognitive difficulties. It affects about 2-4% of the population, predominantly women. Treatment includes medications, exercise, stress management, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for fibromyalgia. Currently, 100 studies are recruiting a combined 94,245 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 80 organizations including Boston Children's Hospital, The Children's Tumor Foundation, Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation and 77 others.
2026 Fibromyalgia Research Landscape
As of July 2026, the fibromyalgia clinical trial landscape includes 100 actively recruiting studies across 122 cities in the United States. These studies are collectively seeking 94,245 participants, with an average enrollment target of 942 per study.
The research spans multiple phases of development: 17 studies are in PHASE2, 14 studies are in NA, 9 studies are in PHASE3, 6 studies are in PHASE1, 4 studies are in PHASE4. The presence of Phase 3 trials indicates that some fibromyalgia treatments are in late-stage testing and may be approaching regulatory review.

Genetic Studies of Strabismus, Congenital Cranial Dysinnervation Disorders (CCDDs), and Their Associated Anomalies
The purpose of this study is to identify genes associated with impaired development and function of the cranial nerves and brainstem, which may result in misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and related conditions.
Neurofibromatosis (NF) Registry Portal
The NF Registry is a database of patient-reported symptoms, treatments, and experiences with their neurofibromatosis disease. It is a contact registry to relay clinical trial opportunities to targeted patient subgroups, and to supply de-identified disease data to researchers. It has the potential to become a natural history resource.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Community Registry
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) results from a diverse group of health conditions and affects the lives of patients (including those who are post lung transplant), caregivers and family members. The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Community Registry will offer an online portal where participants can self-enroll and directly contribute information about their experience with PF to be compiled into a longitud...
