Brain training treatment for fibromyalgia pain

Fibromyalgia may be caused by problems with the central nervous system. Does that mean we can train our brains to better process pain? Dr Richard Brown from the University of Manchester is on a mission to find out.
Dr Brown and his team hope to create and test a new treatment that could help ease fibromyalgia pain. Perceptual training involves doing simple tasks on a computer that could teach the central nervous system how to better process pain over time.
The treatment has been developed so the next step is to test it with healthy volunteers before seeing how effective it is at reducing pain in fibromyalgia patients.
