Brief Summary: Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome characterized by generalized musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, non-repairing sleep, cognitive changes, depressive symptoms and other correlates of autonomic dysfunction. A high prevalence of overweight in patients with fibromyalgia is observed, about 80% according to current data, which affects the course and prognosis of the disease, besides overburdening health costs and further compromising quality of life. life of these patients. Evidence shows possible pathophysiological pathways shared by these two pathologies, as well as aspects related to food behavior. It is known that dopaminergic neurotransmission is altered in both, suggesting an increase in the sensitivity or density of D2 dopamine receptors. Non-pharmacological options for pain management and dysfunctional eating behavior include the important contribution of neuromodulatory techniques of non-invasive cerebral stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which aims to increase resisting hyperpalatable foods and reducing caloric intake. Objectives: To evaluate the association between dopamine receptor-2 (DRD2) Taq1A allele A1 polymorphism (rs1800497) and to observe the possible effect of tDCS on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on homeostatic and hedonistic aspects of eating behavior in women with FM. Methods: A randomized, double blind, parallel group, controlled trial with simulated treatment will be performed. Will be included in the study women literate, right-handed, with confirmed diagnosis of FM. The evaluation will be done through questionnaires on pain and eating behavior, anthropometric evaluation and biochemical measurements. The intervention will take place through active or simulated home for 4 weeks. Perspectives: To evaluate dysfunctional neuroplastic changes in eating behavior and biological markers and also to serve as a basis for future effective treatment strategies through neuromodulation and nutritional counseling.
Detailed Description: A randomized, double-blind, parallel-group controlled trial with sham treatment will be conducted in fibromyalgia patients to assess aspects of eating behavior.
