Where research stands

We searched for curcumin, turmeric, curcuma longa together with fibromyalgia.

Registered trial: NCT07753018 – Effects of Curcumin-Piperine Supplementation in Fibromyalgia (not recruiting yet)

1 new study in people is running or will start soon, say the trial registers.

Verdict

Unproven

Curcumin (turmeric) is being tested in a trial in people with fibromyalgia. The trial is still running: there are no results yet.

Unproven means: it was only tested in animals or cells, or there is too little or mixed data from people. How we rate claims

What this means for you: Until the trial reports, nobody knows whether it works or is safe. If you want to take part, ask your doctor whether the trial is open to you.
