Abstract

Chronic pain is one of the most common and challenging symptoms in fibromyalgia (FM). Currently, self-reported pain is the main criterion used by clinicians assessing patients with pain. However, it is subjective, and multiple factors can affect pain levels. In this study, we investigated the neural correlates of FM pain using conditioned pain modulation (CPM), electroencephalography (EEG), and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
