Brain zaps for pain and fatigue: a quick fix?
NCT ID NCT07573709
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a brief, noninvasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS could immediately reduce pain and improve function in people with fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. About 20 participants received one session, and researchers measured changes in pain and symptom impact right before and after. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
