Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mean number of stimulation (high definition-transcranial direct current stimulation) sessions (up to 26) needed to achieve a clinical response with this response defined as a 50% decrease in Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. These data will be important in defining the optimal number of sessions for future fibromyalgia subjects in Phase III trials.

Primary Outcome

Investigate the mean number of sessions (up to 26) needed to achieve clinical response associated with the use of HD-tDCS over the primary motor cortex (M1), with response defined at a 50% decrease in baseline Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain.
