Objective: Previously, we showed that patients with fibromyalgia (FM) display enhanced sensitivity to experimental pressure-pain which predicts clinical response to sham acupuncture (SA) treatment.In this study, we investigated whether tMRI blood oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) response to experimental pressure-pain predicts increased clinical pain reductions after SA as opposed to verum acupuncture (VA) treatment.
