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

Summary

This study looked at whether adding a gentle electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and standard medicines could reduce pain and improve quality of life in 60 postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia. Participants were split into three groups: one received only medication, another added CBT, and the third added both CBT and TENS. The goal was to see if the combined approach offered extra relief for pain, symptoms, and daily function.
