Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation Alters White Matter Integrity in Fibromyalgia Patients


Originally published by our sister publication Pain Medicine News

SAN FRANCISCO—One of the first studies of its kind has concluded that percutaneous electrical nerve field stimulation (PENFS) can modify white matter integrity in patients with fibromyalgia receiving concurrent standard therapy.

In contrast, the randomized trial in military veterans found no correlations between these changes in structural white matter neuroplasticity and pain scores following treatment, but the researchers
