Neuroimaging Approaches to Deconstructing Acupuncture for Chronic Pain
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Fibromyalgia
In brief
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of electro-acupuncture in pain processing on patients with fibromyalgia (FM). The investigators hypothesize that electro-acupuncture is effective for FM because it functions as a desensitization therapy, which when applied repeatedly over multiple treatment sessions, gradually habituates the nervous system to continuing pain and sensory signaling.
