Study Summary

This study aims to determine the feasibility of a shamanism intervention for patients with fibromyalgia, acquire efficacy data to determine if Shamanism reduces clinical pain and other common symptoms associated with fibromyalgia, and determine if the Shamanism intervention changes heart rate electrocardiogram (ECG), breathing rate, and brain wave electroencephalogram (EEG) outcomes in fibromyalgia patients and shamanic practitioners. The investigators hypothesize that 80% of individuals will complete at least 80% of study visits, clinical pain severity and/or interference will be significantly reduced following the Shamanic intervention, and lung, heart, and/or brain activity will be altered with the Shamanic intervention and also become more synchronized between Shamanic Practitioners (SPs) and patients during the course of treatment.

Primary Outcome

To investigate the primary outcome of feasibility, the investigators will record attendance and assess how many Fibromyalgia (FM) patients complete 80% of treatment visits (4 out of 5 sessions). Participants who complete at least 80% of visits will be marked as a completer and those who attend less than 80% of treatment visits will be marked as a "non-completer". The investigators will perform a completer versus non-completer analysis on all participants enrolled.
