Study Summary

This trial will explore the use of microcurrent therapy for fibromyalgia patients and evaluate its effect on generalized pain and quality of life. The goal is to determine if microcurrent therapy can be self-administered by the patient as an adjunct to medical pain management.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for Active Duty or DoD beneficiaries aged 18-74 with fibromyalgia, experiencing widespread pain for at least 3 months and having more than 10 tender points. Participants must have had a neck injury in the past and be able to receive care at Nellis Air Force Base.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if microcurrent therapy using a Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator (TENS) can reduce generalized pain and improve life quality in fibromyalgia patients compared to a placebo device.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Microcurrent TENS may cause mild skin irritation where the electrodes are placed. There's also a small risk of discomfort or increased pain due to electrical stimulation.
