Functional Disability Index score ≥ 7, indicating at least mild disability
Must not have
Comorbid rheumatic disease (e.g. juvenile arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus)

Summary
This trial looks at how well different treatments work for fibromyalgia in girls by studying brain activity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adolescent females with juvenile-onset fibromyalgia who are right-handed, have a mild disability or greater, and have been on stable medication for at least 3 weeks. They must be diagnosed by a specialist using specific criteria. Those with major psychiatric conditions, opioid use, other rheumatic diseases, or non-MRI compatible metal in their body cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study uses functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to compare how adolescent girls with juvenile fibromyalgia and healthy individuals process pain and emotions in the brain. It also looks at changes over time before and after treatment strategies.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves fMRI scanning rather than medication or invasive procedures, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from lying still during the scan or anxiety within the confined space of the MRI machine.
