Summary

Transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a newer delivery system, using a non-invasive stimulation device placed at the ear's concha. TaVNS is a portable, safe, and low-cost intervention, and according to some studies, taVNS may influence nociception and pain perception, which can lead to potential applications for various painful illnesses, including fibromyalgia (FM). This trial aims to investigate the clinical effects of taVNS on pain control in FM subjects.
