Brain stimulation and exercise for fibromyalgia
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with a home-based exercise program can help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. It is designed for people who are comfortable using technology and can follow a guided exercise routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) can help reduce pain and improve mood in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to understand how pain and reward circuits in the brain work.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. You'll use a small device at home that sends mild electrical currents to your scalp, and researchers will monitor your progress via video calls.
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 trial compares a non-invasive, at-home brain stimulation technique (tDCS) to the medication duloxetine for treating fibromyalgia pain. It aims to see if the brain stimulation works as well as the drug.
This trial tests whether adding gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) to exercise can help people with chronic widespread pain (like fibromyalgia). It aims to see if this combination reduces pain better than exercise alone.
This study tests whether combining exercise with a type of brain stimulation (neuromodulation) can help reduce fibromyalgia pain. If you are a woman with fibromyalgia and moderate to severe pain, this may be an option for you.
