Brief description of study

DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE FIBROMYALGIA? Join our study!

Researchers at Indiana University are looking for adults to participate in a study to learn more about the relationships between daily bodily pain and fatigue with physical activity levels in adults with Fibromyalgia.

Participation involves one study visit to IUPUI in Indianapolis, IN and wearing an activity monitor at home for 8 days.

Compensation will be provided.

What is involved if I participate?
  • Participants will complete one 1.5 hour study visit at IUPUI in Indianapolis, IN.
  • During this visit, participants will complete questionnaires and complete a 6-minute walk on an indoor track.
  • Following the study visit, participants will be asked to wear an activity monitor on the waist for 8 days. 
  • On those same 8 days, we will ask participants to complete daily ratings of their bodily pain and fatigue via an app that is put on their phone.
