Evidence for the improvement of fatigue in fibromyalgia: A 4‐week left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation randomized‐controlled trial

Abstract

This study provides evidence that 4-weeks of daily rTMS to the left DLPFC is able to improve fatigue in fibromyalgia. This novel finding provides impetus for the further investigation of the utility of TMS approaches for the relief of fatigue, an otherwise difficult-to-treat symptom, in fibromyalgia and related disorders.
