In Brief
A clinical study evaluating LIMFA Therapy® for Fibromyalgia. Completed, enrolled 48 participants.
Detailed Summary
This is a randomized double-blind crossover study. The investigators applied ELF with a device named "LIMFA Therapy®" to 48 fibromyalgic patients, assigned in two groups (true-sham and sham-true).
