Findings Could Lead to Development of New Analgesic Treatment
The team expects that their study may lead to new development of analgesic treatments. Explosive synchronization offers a quantitative approach and theoretical framework to help determine the interventions that would shift a hypersensitive brain network into a normal brain network. It may be possible to transform the ES network to a non-ES network by simply modulating the hub nodes.
Indeed, the transcranial magnetic stimulation may be improved by targeting the sensitive hub nodes. Applying deep brain stimulation into critical nodes to help modify ES condition is another therapeutic treatment for fibromyalgia waiting to be explored.
