"Using a Multisite TENS SysteM to Improve Fibromyalgia-related Symptoms.

To join this study, you need to be a French speaker between 18 and 75 years old and have a clear diagnosis of fibromyalgia for at least three months, confirmed by specific medical guidelines. You'll also need to be part of the French national health insurance scheme.

There are several reasons why someone might not be able to join. For example, if you're already in another research study, or if you have certain medical conditions that might make wearing the Exopulse Mollii suit unsafe, such as a heart pacemaker or if you're pregnant. People with a very high body weight (a BMI over 35) also can't take part. They also need to make sure you don't have other major health issues, apart from anxiety or depression, or any recent changes to your regular medications.

Finally, if your circumstances make it difficult to attend regular medical checks for the study, or if you're under legal protection that affects your ability to make decisions, you wouldn't be able to participate. This helps ensure everyone in the study is safe and can follow the study's plan.

Information about how long you'd need to take part, how many visits, what assessments would be involved, and whether you'd receive medication or a device (and for how long), is not yet fully detailed in the provided summary. However, based on the study's aim to test the suit over six months, it's likely that wearing the Exopulse Mollii suit and attending regular check-ups for at least this period would be a key part of participating. You would be either using the active suit or a 'sham' (inactive) suit, and neither you nor the researchers would know which one you have received until the end of the study. This helps ensure the results are fair and unbiased. The main assessment would be to see how much your fibromyalgia symptoms, like pain and tiredness, change. You would have check-ups to monitor your progress and make sure you're doing well throughout the study.
