NCT ID NCT04115033
First seen Mar 04, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive, FDA-approved device called cranial electrical stimulation (CES) can reduce fibromyalgia pain in veterans. Fifty veterans with daily pain took part, receiving either real CES or a placebo treatment for several weeks. Researchers used brain scans and pain ratings to see if CES changes pain signals in the brain, aiming to offer a safer, non-drug option for chronic pain.
