In this Friday’s Rethinking Clinical Trials Grand Rounds, Leslie J. Crofford, Dana Dailey, and Kathleen Sluka will present “Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation Reduces Movement-Pain in People With Fibromyalgia: Results From FM-TIPS, a Cluster Randomized Pragmatic Trial.”
The Grand Rounds session will be held on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 1:00 pm eastern.
FM-TIPS, an NIH Collaboratory Trial, is examining whether the addition of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to routine physical therapy improves movement-evoked pain compared with physical therapy alone among patients with fibromyalgia. The trial is supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases through the NIH HEAL Initiative. Learn more about FM-TIPS.
Crofford is the Wilson Family Chair in Medicine and a Professor of Medicine and Pathology, Microbiology & Immunology at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dailey is an assistant research scientist at the University of Iowa. Sluka is a professor at the University of Iowa.
