Brief Summary

The main objective is to know if the transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) reduces the perception of pain in patients with fibromyalgia and its effect on health-related quality of life. In addition, it will seek to limit the parameters necessary to achieve efficiency with the technique.
