Some studies show that high-intensity exercises like running or cycling (also called high-intensity interval training, or HIIT) may reduce symptoms more effectively than slower, traditional exercises.\n\nThere are also new treatments, like non-invasive neuromodulation, which uses a gentle current to stimulate brain cells. This technique can help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. However, we don't yet know if combining HIIT and neuromodulation works better than exercise alone. We also want to find out if this combination helps improve other symptoms like fatigue and poor sleep.\n\nThe goal of this study is to see how a combination of HIIT and neuromodulation affects pain, fatigue, sleep, and muscle strength in women with fibromyalgia.\n\nThe investigators are asking two main questions:\n\nDoes combining HIIT and neuromodulation reduce pain better than exercise alone? Does this combination improve how the brain controls pain, muscles, and other symptoms like fatigue and sleep problems? What Will the Study Involve?\n\nThree different exercise training programs will be compared:\n\nHIIT with neuromodulation (tDCS): The participant will do HIIT by cycling at a high intensity for 1 minute, then resting for 2 minutes. Then, this will be repeated 10 times. At the same time, the researchers will place two small, damp sponges on the head of the participant. These sponges connect to the tDCS device, which sends a gentle current to your brain. It might feel a tingling sensation at first, but it will fade away.\n\nHIIT with a \"sham\" (inactive) neuromodulation: This is similar to the first program, but the tDCS device will only be active for a few minutes at the beginning and end of the session.\n\nHIIT alone: This involves just the cycling exercise with no brain stimulation. Who Can Participate?\n\nThe researchers are looking for women who:\n\nAre 18-65 years old and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia Experience moderate to high levels of pain Have stable blood pressure (if they have hypertension) Are not regularly active (don't do more than 30 minutes of exercise at least 3 times per week)\n\nWhat Will the Study involve?\n\nThe participant will:\n\nAttend 6 conditioning sessions (cycling) over two weeks to prepare their body. Complete 4 weeks of HIIT training, three times per week, at Universidad Andres Bello.\n\nAttend 3 assessment sessions in our lab: before the conditioning, before the training, and after the training. These will include:\n\nNon-invasive tests to measure your physical fitness, muscle strength, and pain sensitivity Brain and muscle connection tests. Questionnaires about your sleep, pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and exercise enjoyment\n\nWhat the participant will get?\n\nAt the end of the study in addition to the training benefits, participants will receive a detailed report showing their body composition (muscle and fat levels) before and after the training.",[83],"Fibromyalgia (FM)",[85,86,87,88,89,90,91],"Fibromyalgia","central sensitization","Pain","intracortical excitability","HIIT - HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING","tDCS - transcranial direct stimulation","transcranial magnetic stimulation","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-12-26",{"date":95,"type":96},"2026-01-07","ACTUAL",{"date":98,"type":77},"2026-01-01",{"date":100,"type":77},"2027-06",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
