ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVES:
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain resulting in central sensitization of nociceptive signaling. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left motor cortex (M1) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique indicated for a broad range of chronic pain disorders, including FM. Studies suggest that left and right M1 (contralateral and ipsilateral hemisphere of tDCS stimulation) are modulated. But it is necessary to clarify the differences in clinical pain perception comparing the right and left side of the body. This study aimed to evaluate the pain-related difference between right-left side of the body after five sessions of anodal tDCS in women with FM.METHODS:
A double-blinded, parallel, randomized, sham-controlled trial with 30 women with FM was performed. Five sessions of anodal C3 and cathodal supraorbital (Fp2) tDCS were conducted (2 mA for 20 min). Pain, impact of FM and anxiety were evaluated. No statistically significant three-way interaction between time, stimulation type and body side were found.RESULTS:
Active-tDCS showed significant improvement in pain, but impact of FM and anxiety did not show significant improvement.CONCLUSION:
Five sessions of anodal tDCS over the left M1 improves pain in women with FM, however there was no difference between right-left body sides.
