Investigating the Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on the Brain in People With Fibromyalgia (NCT07260864)
Investigating the Differential Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Left and Right Motor Cortex in Fibromyalgia: A Prospective Randomized Trial With Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI(
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The first goal of this study is to see how brain activity changes in people with fibromyalgia after they get a treatment called rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation). Researchers are looking at how the parts of the brain that control movement (called motor cortices) respond to this treatment. The second goal is to find out if the changes in brain activity are different between the right and left sides of the brain, depending on which side gets the treatment.
