Fibromyalgia TENS in Physical Therapy Study (TIPS): an Embedded Pragmatic Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) with PT and PT only for Fibromyalgia. Completed, enrolled 459 participants across 6 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if addition of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to routine physical therapy improves movement-evoked pain in patients with fibromyalgia (FM). The study will also determine if addition of TENS to routine physical therapy (PT) improves disease activity and symptoms, increases adherence to physical therapy, increases the likelihood of meeting patient specific functional goals, and reduces medication use.
