Brief Summary: This study aims to study the clinical effects of Energy Healing using fMRI and determine its application to Fibromyalgia patients We also want to find out how active Energy Healing compares to sham Energy Healing in terms of brain connectivity and pain interference scores
Detailed Description: The primary objective is to investigate the effects of energy healing as compared to sham EH on brain connectivity of the insulasalience network sensory motor network and default mode network as primary outcomes using fcMRI
The secondary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of EH in reducing clinical pain severity and interference secondary outcomes and their relationship to brain connectivity secondary outcomes as compared to placebosham EH
The exploratory objective is to understand the effects of EH versus sham EH on brain functional response to visual stimuli insular glutamate heart rate variability mood sleep and fatigue symptoms in fibromyalgia patients all exploratory outcomes
