Nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle nerve stimulation device worn near your ear to see if it can reduce fibromyalgia pain and improve how your body handles stress. It is a non-invasive treatment option that you receive while continuing your regular medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
