Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
This trial tests whether a nerve stimulation technique can help reduce fibromyalgia symptoms. It is open to women with a confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia who have had symptoms for at least three months.
This study tests if people with fibromyalgia can learn to control their own brain activity using real-time feedback from an MRI machine to reduce pain. It is designed to help those with long-term chronic pain find new ways to manage it.
