Brain stimulation and exercise for fibromyalgia pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether gentle brain stimulation combined with light aerobic exercise can reduce fibromyalgia pain. It compares two different brain areas to see which works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a gentle electrical brain stimulation method (tDCS), combined with a pain coping program, can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. It compares two groups to see if adding brain stimulation makes the coping program more effective.
This study tests if combining physical exercise with a gentle brain stimulation technique can improve pain, sleep, and fatigue in people with fibromyalgia.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation therapy can reduce pain and improve daily life in people with fibromyalgia. It aims to offer a drug-free option to manage symptoms.
This study tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) to see if it can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with fibromyalgia. It may offer a new option for managing your pain without medication changes.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (rTMS) can reduce chronic pain in fibromyalgia patients. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain and may help relieve widespread pain.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can reduce pain in teenagers and young adults with fibromyalgia or other long-lasting muscle and bone pain that hasn't responded to usual treatments. It aims to help calm overactive pain signals in the brain.
