Popis: Abstract MRI-based resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC) has been shown to predict response to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for chronic pain, but not yet for motor cortex transcranial magnetic stimulation (M1-rTMS). Twenty-seven fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients participated in this double-blind, crossover, and sham-controlled study. Ten daily treatments of 10 Hz M1-rTMS were given over 2 weeks. Before treatment series, patients underwent resting-state fMRI and clinical pain evaluation. Significant pain reduction occurred following active, but not sham, M1-rTMS. The following rsFC patterns predicted reductions in clinical pain intensity after the active treatment: weaker rsFC of the default-mode network with the middle frontal gyrus (r = 0.76, p
