Vagus Nerve Stimulation in Fibromyalgia
Sponsor: Kasr El Aini Hospital
Summary
Vagus nerve stimulation is thought to reduce sympathetic nerve outflow and so can improve sympathetic hyperactivity in fibromyalgia patients. We aimed in the current study, to evaluate the effect of the cervical transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation in comparison to conventional medical treatment in Egyptian fibromyalgia patients.
