First seen Jan 12, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can reduce pain in women with fibromyalgia. Researchers also wanted to see if a person's tendency to respond to placebos (inactive treatments) affects how well tDCS works. 100 women took part, and the main goal was to measure changes in pain levels.
