Mayo Clinic41 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to study the feasibility of a wearable brain sensing wellness device to provide mindfulness training to fibromyalgia patients who have failed medical therapy.

All study participants will receive a wearable brain sensing wellness device, and demonstration of the mindfulness sessions. Participants will be asked to complete study surveys/questionnaires. During the first part of study, participants will be asked to complete the intervention. After completion of the intervention they will enter a follow-Up Phase, where they will be contacted and asked to complete surveys and gauge satisfaction with the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change in Widespread Pain Index (WPI)

Wide pain index (WPI) defined as a 4-quadrant plus axial pain, measuring widespread pain in 19 body areas where the patient feels pain over the prior week. Each area identified on the list counts as 1. The range on the WPI score can range from 0 to 19. With lower number indicating fewer areas of pain (hence lower pain). The difference is calculated by taking the baseline score minus the end of treatment score.

Time frame: Baseline to end of treatment (day 90)

Change in Perceived Stress Scale

Measured on a 0-10 pain assessment scale. Participants rate their stress on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero means "no stress," and 10 means "the worst possible stress". The difference is calculated by taking the baseline score minus the end of treatment score.

Time frame: Baseline to end of treatment (day 90)
