Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Traditional Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a type of treatment where thin needles are gently inserted into specific parts of your body. It's often used to help with things like pain, headaches, stress, and anxiety.

PROCEDURE

Sham Acupuncture

Sham acupuncture in this trial involves the insertion superficially to mimic the procedure of true acupuncture without providing any therapeutic effect. The needles will be similar to those used in the true acupuncture group but will not be stimulated, ensuring blinding and controlling for placebo effects.
