Fibromyalgia affects an estimated 4 million adults in the U.S., or roughly 2% of the population. It is associated with widespread muscle and joint pain, fatigue, sleep difficulties, memory problems, and emotional stress. Research suggests that fibromyalgia intensifies pain by altering how the brain and spinal cord interpret signals. Women are more commonly affected than men.

 

Neurofeedback offers a non-invasive approach that may help individuals with fibromyalgia manage discomfort and improve daily functioning. By supporting healthier brain activity, neurofeedback can help reduce the intensity of pain signals, improve sleep quality, and promote a calmer emotional state. Individuals often report reduced muscle tension, fewer headaches, and greater resilience in response to pain. Neurofeedback carries few side effects, with the most common being a temporary feeling of tiredness after a session.
