Study Summary
Investigators are seeking to determine the effects of CBT, anodal tDCS over left DLPFC, and combined CBT+ tDCS on clinical pain and functioning among a sample of patients with fibromyalgia. This study will be the first randomized, double-blind, controlled study of tDCS technology as an adjunctive pain management strategy for fibromyalgia pain. Data from this trial will likely yield information regarding the feasibility and efficacy of tDCS+CBT as a chronic pain-management approach.
Primary Outcome
Before treatment, Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) will be completed for all participants. The QST involves a comprehensive laboratory pain assessment including heat stimuli using a Pathway Thermo-sensory Analyzer System which is specifically designed for assessing laboratory pain testing. The QST collects the temperature in celsius of when the participant first begins to feel the stimuli (Sensory), starts to feel pain (average pain threshold), and when the participant can no longer tolerate t
Interventions
