First seen Jan 19, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single session of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called cerebellar tDCS can reduce pain and change brain activity in women with fibromyalgia. The trial involves 92 right-handed women aged 18-65 with confirmed fibromyalgia and moderate to severe pain. Researchers will measure pain levels and brain responses before and after the stimulation to see if this approach offers a new way to manage chronic pain.
