US News & World Report: Fibromyalgia treatments
UC expert Dr. Lesley Arnold weighs in on a study looking at nerve stimulation for fibromyalgia pain
For people with the mysterious chronic pain condition fibromyalgia, researchers say nerve stimulation may offer some relief.
In a recent study, use of TENS, or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, during movement or activity was shown to significantly reduce pain associated with fibromyalgia after just four weeks.
Dr. Lesley Arnold, who was not involved with the new study, lauded its outcomes. "The improvements in pain and fatigue were remarkable," she said. Arnold, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and a UC Health physician, suggested that the study may help guide physicians in use of TENS for symptom management.
