Brain stimulation for teens with fibromyalgia or chronic pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 10 and 21 years old
- You have fibromyalgia or another type of long-term muscle or bone pain that is not caused by inflammation
- Your average pain score is more than 4 out of 10 over the last two weeks
- Your pain has lasted for more than 6 months
- Your pain has not improved with standard treatments, and your medications have been the same for the last month
- You do not have epilepsy, a pacemaker, metal implants in your head, or a history of substance abuse or severe mental health conditions like schizophrenia or major depression

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 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 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 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.
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 tests whether a mild ear nerve stimulation device can reduce pain for veterans with fibromyalgia. It also looks at how the brain changes with treatment using MRI scans for some participants.
