While tDCS has been studied as a safe and effective tool for managing pain in fibromyalgia, there is a possibility of triggered long-lasting mood changes. TDCS may potentially negatively affect mood in specific individuals with fibromyalgia.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulator that showed promising results in pain reduction among individuals with fibromyalgia (FM). Despite the potential benefits, it may have some adverse events that are mainly transient. However, long-lasting effects can also occur. We presented a 31-year-old man whose symptoms and signs were consistent with fibromyalgia, and he received tDCS over C3 to reduce diffuse pain. Although, immediately after fulfilling the session, he became restless, agitated, and aggressive, and his symptoms lasted approximately 2 months later.
虽然经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)已被研究作为一种安全有效的工具来管理纤维肌痛的疼痛,但有可能引发持久的情绪变化。tDCS可能会对特定的纤维肌痛患者的情绪产生潜在的负面影响。
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)是一种非侵入性神经调节方法,在纤维肌痛(FM)患者的疼痛减轻方面显示出有前景的结果。尽管有潜在益处,但它可能有一些主要为短暂性的不良事件。然而,也可能出现持久影响。我们报告了一名31岁男性,其症状和体征与纤维肌痛相符,他接受了C3部位的tDCS以减轻弥漫性疼痛。尽管在疗程结束后,他立即变得烦躁不安、激动和好斗,且这些症状持续了大约2个月。
