TMS for Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) also known as Fibromyalgia, is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body, accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues.
 
The exact cause of Fibromyalgia is unknown. However, it is thought to be related to brain chemical imbalances in specific parts of the brain. Plus, changes in the way the central nervous system responds to and processes pain messages throughout the body.

Symptoms of Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain

Alongside widespread pain, people with Fibromyalgia or Chronic Pain may also experience:

  • Increased sensitivity to pain.
  • General aching.
  • Extreme tiredness (fatigue).
  • Muscle stiffness.
  • Difficulty sleeping.
  • Problems with thinking or memory (known as “fibro-fog”).
  • Headaches.
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) – a digestive issue causing stomach pain and bloating.

TMS Therapy for Fibromyalgia & Chronic Pain

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an innovative, non-invasive treatment designed to help relieve symptoms of Fibromyalgia and offer an alternative approach to managing chronic pain.

Research shows that both low and high-frequency stimulation over the left and/or right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (DLPFC) can help reduce pain. Clinical studies have shown a significant drop in overall pain levels and relief from Fibromyalgia symptoms.

Benefits of TMS Treatment for Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and mood-related symptoms. TMS therapy may help ease these issues by targeting areas of the brain linked to pain perception and emotional regulation.

  • Reduced overall pain.
  • Better sleep.
  • Less fatigue and tiredness.
  • Lower muscle tension.
  • Improved mood and reduced anxiety.
  • Enhanced quality of life.
  • Non-invasive and well-tolerated.

Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (MST) for Chronic Pain

Magnetic Stimulation Therapy (MST) treatment for chronic pain offers several benefits. It is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific brain areas or the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), providing targeted pain relief. Unlike invasive treatments, TMS does not require surgery or anaesthesia. TMS also reduces the reliance on medications, which may have side effects or lead to addiction.
 
The effects of MST are long-lasting, and the treatment can be customised to meet individual needs. Overall, MST improves the quality of life for chronic pain sufferers without significant side effects.
