Interventional Neuromodulation in Fibromyalgia
Sponsor: Tanta University
Summary
This study was conducted on 40 eligible fibromyalgia patients with sleep disorders. They were randomized to have 20 sessions of active or sham rTMS (1 Hz, 120% of resting motor threshold with total 1200 pules /session) over the right dorsolateral prefrontal area (DLPFC) for 5 sessions/week for 4 weeks. All participants were subjected to baseline evaluation with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, polysomnography, sleep quality and sleep characteristics assessment using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and The Medical Outcomes Study Sleep Scale respectively.FM patients were reevaluated at 1, 3 months after the end of rTMS sessions.
