Brain Stimulation for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with fibromyalgia based on current criteria and confirmed by questionnaire
- Chronic pain lasting at least 6 months with daily or near-daily symptoms
- Average pain level of 4 or higher on a 0–10 pain scale
- Age between 18 and 80 years old
- Pain medication stable for at least 1 month (no changes during the 10-week study)
- No electronic devices or metal implants in or near the head (pacemakers, cochlear implants, aneurysm clips, etc.)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing a special type of brain stimulation (deep rTMS) for people with long-term nerve pain or fibromyalgia. The goal is to see if it can help reduce pain that hasn't gotten better with usual treatments.
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 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 a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment, called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), to see if it can help people who have both major depression that hasn't improved with medication and chronic pain from fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. It aims to reduce both depression and pain symptoms.
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.
