The Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Fibromyalgia Patients

Medical University of South Carolina·interventional·Posted Mar 30, 2016·Updated Nov 28, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Pain. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Investigators are seeking to determine the effects of CBT, anodal tDCS over left DLPFC, and combined CBT+ tDCS on clinical pain and functioning among a sample of patients with fibromyalgia. This study will be the first randomized, double-blind, controlled study of tDCS technology as an adjunctive pain management strategy for fibromyalgia pain. Data from this trial will likely yield information regarding the feasibility and efficacy of tDCS+CBT as a chronic pain-management approach.
