Feasibility and Effects of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation on Pain Perception in People With Fibromyalgia

Sponsor: Pulkit Grover

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn whether noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) will have an effect on pain perception in people with fibromyalgia. The main questions it aims to answer are: Do repeated sessions of NIBS lead to a reduction in perceived pain? Do repeated sessions of NIBS lead to an improvement in quality of life? Researchers will compare different brain targets to see if effects are different between them. Participants will receive repeated daily sessions of NIBS over 4 weeks with application of pressure pain algometry, and complete various questionnaires.

Interventions

DEVICE

Primary Motor Cortex Stimulation

Short (\<1 ms), high amplitude (\>10 mA) noninvasive electrical pulses delivered at 1 Hz on the scalp surface. This intervention will target the primary motor cortex (M1).

DEVICE

Occipital Lobe Stimulation

Short (\<1 ms), high amplitude (\>10 mA) noninvasive electrical pulses delivered at 1 Hz on the scalp surface. This intervention will target the occipital lobe.
