Summary

This study tests if a safe, home-use brain stimulation device (tDCS) can ease fibromyalgia pain as well as the drug duloxetine, but with fewer side effects. About 610 women with fibromyalgia will receive either the device, the drug, or a placebo. The goal is to find a better-tolerated treatment option that improves pain, sleep, and quality of life.
