Treatment of Fibromyalgia with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
What is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia is a chronic syndrome characterised by diffuse muscle pain, persistent fatigue, sleep disorders, cognitive problems (mental fog) and sometimes hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli. It mainly affects women, but can affect all genders.
Causes of Fibromyalgia
The exact causes remain unknown, but research suggests a disturbance in the way the central nervous system processes pain. Possible factors: genetic predisposition, stress, infections or physical or emotional trauma.
Classic Treatments
Conventional treatments include :
- Medication (painkillers, antidepressants, anti-epileptics)
- Physical therapies (physiotherapy, adapted exercises)
- Psychotherapies to help manage pain and anxiety
Unfortunately, these treatments offer variable results and are not always suitable for all patients.
rTMS: An Innovative Solution
La Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method that uses magnetic pulses to modulate neuronal activity in the areas of the brain involved in pain perception.
How does rTMS work for Fibromyalgia?
rTMS sessions specifically target the brain regions associated with pain and mood regulation. By rebalancing neural activity, this treatment can effectively reduce the symptoms of fibromyalgia, particularly chronic pain and fatigue.
Benefits of rTMS for Fibromyalgia
- Non-invasive treatment and without pain.
- Few side effects.
- Sustainable improvement symptoms after several sessions.
- Effective supplement to traditional treatments.
Proven clinical efficacy
Recent clinical studies show that rTMS can significantly reduce pain in 60 to 70% of fibromyalgia patients treated. The improvements concern :
- Reduced pain intensity from 30 to 45% on average
- Improved quality of sleep in 65% patients
- Reduced chronic fatigue in 70% of cases
- Improved cognitive function (concentration, memory)
These results are supported by publications in specialist scientific journals.
