Zapping the brain to ease fibromyalgia pain?

NCT ID NCT03371225

Summary

This study tested whether a combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and exercise could help reduce pain for people with fibromyalgia. Researchers worked with 116 adults whose pain wasn't well-controlled by common medications. They compared the effects of brain stimulation, exercise, both together, or neither, to see which approach best engaged the body's natural pain control system.
