Modulatory effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on sensory gating in Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Several studies have demonstrated a reduced habituation to redundant somatosensory stimulation (sensory gating) in Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Furthermore, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation has been shown to modulate somatosensory processing. The aim of this study was to examine the modulatory effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation applied over the left primary somatosensory cortex on sensory gating in Fibromyalgia Syndrome.

Methods

Thirty-nine female Fibromyalgia Syndrome patients (43-71 years, mean 55.56 ± 7.85) participated in the study and were randomly assigned to the active transcranial direct current stimulation (n = 17) or non-electrical stimulation (sham; n = 22). Before and after transcranial direct current stim
