Have questions about TMS therapy for fibromyalgia? We’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you better understand how treatment works, what to expect, and whether it may be the right option for your needs.
Research suggests that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may help reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life for some people living with fibromyalgia. While results vary from person to person, TMS is being studied as a promising non-invasive treatment option for managing fibromyalgia-related symptoms.
TMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of major depressive disorder and certain other mental health conditions. While it is not currently FDA-approved specifically for fibromyalgia, ongoing clinical research has shown encouraging results for pain relief in some patients. Treatment recommendations are always based on an individual clinical evaluation.
Most patients describe TMS therapy as a gentle tapping sensation on the scalp during treatment. The procedure is non-invasive, requires no anesthesia, and most people can return to work or their normal daily activities immediately after each session.
