The effect of the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit on pain and fibromyalgia-related symptoms-A randomized sham-controlled crossover trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibromyalgia pain and related symptoms are poorly managed by approved pharmacological and alternative interventions. This trial aimed to evaluate the effects of the EXOPULSE Mollii Suit-a multisite transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation device-on fibromyalgia pain, fatigue, affective symptoms, disease impact, and quality of life.

Methods

Adult patients with fibromyalgia were enrolled. Phase 1 implied a randomized, sham-controlled, cross-over, double-blind trial, applying daily 1 h sessions of active or sham intervention, over 2 weeks (2-week washout). In the open-label phase 2, all patients received daily active intervention for 4 weeks. Comparisons on pain, fatigue, disease impact, affective symptoms, quality of life, clinical impression, and comfort ratings
