First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a TENS device (which uses mild electrical pulses) to regular physical therapy helps reduce pain during movement in people with fibromyalgia. Over 450 adults with fibromyalgia took part. Researchers measured pain levels and other symptoms to see if the combination approach works better than physical therapy alone.
