A research project funded to evaluate morning bright light therapy for fibromyalgia, focusing on pain, function, and related mechanisms.
Description
This project aims to develop and evaluate morning bright light treatment as an accessible, non-invasive, and scalable intervention for fibromyalgia (FM). The study will compare the effects of morning bright light therapy, sleep timing stabilization, and treatment as usual on function and pain outcomes. It will also explore demographic risk factors and mechanisms of action, including depression, sleep quality, and circadian timing.
