Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic and complex condition with symptoms that have a strong impact of patients' quality of life, including musculoskeletal pain, insomnia, fatigue, and stiffness. These symptoms are due to a dysfunction of the central nervous system, namely increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic levels of activity, and a deficit in endogenous pain inhibition.

Remedee Labs is developing a unique technology using millimeter waves to stimulate subcutaneous nerve receptors of the wrist, sending a message to the brain, which in turn releases endorphins. These endorphins induce a hypoalgesic effect and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces pain, stress, and improves sleep.

The Remedee Solution evaluated in this study is a wristband designed to deliver millimeter wave, a mobile application that allows the patient to follow his treatment sessions and a personalized support which aims to improve patient adherence to the technology and to increase compliance and effectiveness of the treatment.

The hypothesis of this study is that regular use of the Remedee Solution for three months improves the quality of life of fibromyalgia patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention

The Remedee Solution consists of:

* a wristband designed to deliver millimeter wave
* a mobile application that allows the patient to follow his treatment sessions
* a personalized support to improve patient adherence to the technology and to increase compliance and effectiveness of the treatment

The use of the Remedee Solution start at the randomization day (D0)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Immediate Remedee Solution

Intervention Type DEVICE

* D0 to M3: Remedee Solution + medical care
* M3 to M6: Remedee Solution without personalized support + medical care
* M6 to M9: medical care only

Control

The Remedee Solution consists of:

* a wristband designed to deliver millimeter wave
* a mobile application that allows the patient to follow his treatment sessions
* a personalized support to improve patient adherence to the technology and to increase compliance and effectiveness of the treatment

The use of the Remedee Solution start at three months (M3) after randomization day

Group Type OTHER

Delayed Remedee Solution

Intervention Type DEVICE

* D0 to M3: medical care only
* M3 to M6: Remedee Solution + medical care
* M6 to M9: Remedee Solution without personalized support + medical care
