    Using rTMS, which is a procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, to investigate its potential analgesic effects in fibromyalgia.

Study Details

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.
