Summary

The goal of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of treating fibromyalgia using combination of electrical stimulation with aerobic activity.

Participants will be randomly assigned to stimulation in a ratio of 1:1:1. 120 participants (40 in each group). The therapeutic course will include moderate aerobic physical activity (at 60% of the target heart rate adjusted for age) 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a week of adjustment, and 3 weeks of treatment), along with low current electrical stimulation for 3 weeks.

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia
  • Electric Shock

Interventions

DEVICE

Direct Stimulation Prefrontal Cortex

The therapeutic course will include moderate aerobic physical activity (at 60% of the target heart rate adjusted for age) 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a week of adjustment, and 3 weeks of treatment), along with low current electrical stimulation to prefrontal cortex for 3 weeks.

DEVICE

Shame cortex stimulation

The therapeutic course will include moderate aerobic physical activity (at 60% of the target heart rate adjusted for age) 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a week of adjustment, and 3 weeks of treatment), along with shame low current electrical stimulation to cortex for 3 weeks.

DEVICE

Direct Stimulation to Motor Cortex

The therapeutic course will include moderate aerobic physical activity (at 60% of the target heart rate adjusted for age) 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a week of adjustment, and 3 weeks of treatment), along with low current electrical stimulation to Motor cortex for 3 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

erobic physical activity

Aerobic physical activity (at 60% of the target heart rate adjusted for age) 3 times a week for 4 weeks (a week of adjustment, and 3 weeks of treatment),
