A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Sham-Controlled, Pivotal Study of the NeuroPoint Device for the Treatment of Pain Associated With Fibromyalgia

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of a noninvasive cortical
electrostimulation therapy known as "Reduced Impedance Noninvasive Cortical
Electrostimulation" (RINCE) in the treatment of pain associated with fibromyalgia. Patients
who meet the 2010 American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia will receive up
to 24 RINCE treatments delivered by a medical device called "NeuroPoint". Approximately 200
fibromyalgia patients will be randomized into one of two study groups. One of these groups
will receive sham treatment, meaning they will receive no treatment at all, while the other
group will receive active RINCE treatment. The study's primary outcome measure will be the
difference between active and sham treatment groups in the mean change from baseline in
patients' weekly worst pain scores. The study's hypothesis is that there will be a
difference between treatment groups in primary outcome measure.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient is male or female, 22 to 65 years of age, inclusive.

- Patient has a diagnosis of primary fibromyalgia as defined by the 2010 American
College of Rheumatology Preliminary Diagnostic Criteria for fibromyalgia.

the duration of the study: duloxetine, milnacipran, pregabalin, gabapentin,
naltrexone, sodium oxybate, and opiates.

- Qualified patients with mild or moderate depression must be clinically stable,
without risk of suicidal ideation or behavior, and the dose of allowed
anti-depressants should have been stable for at least three months prior to the
Baseline clinic visit.

- Patient is willing and able to comply with all protocol-specified requirements.

- Patient is capable of reading and understanding English and has provided written

status.

seizure disorder or clinically significant cognitive dysfunction.

- Patient is pregnant or planning to become pregnant within the next 6 months.

- Patient has a body mass index greater than 40 at the Screening visit.

- Patient has a history of cranial electrical stimulation or transcutaneous magnetic
stimulation within 2 years of screening, or electroconvulsive therapy within 5 years
of screening.

- Patient has a metal implant at or above the level of the 7th cervical vertebra, a
cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator, or vagus nerve stimulator.

- Any recent surgery or anticipated need for surgery that might confound results or
interfere with patient's ability to comply with the protocol.

- Myocardial infarction during the 12 months prior to screening, uncontrolled
hypertension, active cardiac disease, clinically significant cardiac rhythm or
conduction abnormality, or anticipation of bypass or other cardiac surgery within the
next 12 months.

- Current systemic infection (e.g., HIV, hepatitis B or C; Lyme disease).

- Patient is using opiates on a regular or frequent basis.

- Pending or current litigation or disability claim (including Workman's Compensation).

- History of significant alcohol and/or drug abuse or dependency within preceding 5
years, or a positive result on the screening (or subsequent) drug screen indicating
use of an illicit substance.

- Patient has participated in an investigational study of a therapeutic treatment
within 90 days prior to Screening visit or is currently participating in another
clinical trial.
