Summary
This study tested whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to standard rehabilitation exercises could help reduce pain in people with fibromyalgia. 42 adults with fibromyalgia were randomly assigned to receive either real or placebo rTMS alongside exercise for 14 weeks. Researchers measured changes in pain, quality of life, and mood to see if the combination offered extra benefit.
