Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation as a modality of treatment in patients with fibromyalgia by Rawan M. El Shahat, Mona A. El Sebaie, Sahar F. Ahmed, Shereen I. Fawaz, Marwa A. Kamel, Marwa A. Nassef

“…Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an emerging nonpharmacological therapeutic option for fibromyalgia. rTMS involves an electromagnetic coil placed on the scalp that is rapidly turned on and off to generate short magnetic pulses to the brain (2). rTMS can reduce chronic pain by triggering inhibitory neural pathways at the level of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. It can improve motor function and alleviate psychiatric symptoms, including depression and anxiety, in many diseases (7). …”
