Study Summary

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.

Primary Outcome

Characterize the altered somatosensory-related neurocircuitry underlying chronic pain in FM, as shown by the difference in brain connectivity between healthy controls and FM patients as measured by FMRI (occurrence rate of co-activation pattern). For each arm, the coactivation pattern was assessed at rest and during a pressure pain stimulation. This is measured by the percent of scan time that an individual's brain displayed a particular coactivation pattern related to the somatosensory system.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Needle acupuncture (Traditional Acupuncture)
  • DEVICE Laser acupuncture (Non-traditional Acupuncture)
