Objetivo. Analisar e descrever os efeitos do exercício físico associado à estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua (tDCS), aplicada sobre o córtex pré-frontal dorsolateral esquerdo (DLPFC) com intensidade de 2mA, na dosagem de serotonina, cortisol salivar e nas características clínicas de uma participante com fibromialgia. Método. Foi realizado um estudo com delineamento de sujeito único (single-subject design), com protocolo "A-B-C", subdividido em 6 semanas. O protocolo "A" correspondeu a duas semanas de exercício aeróbico por 30 minutos; o protocolo "B", a duas semanas de exercício aeróbico por 30 minutos associado à tDCS ativa nos primeiros 20 minutos; e o protocolo "C", a duas semanas de exercício aeróbico por 30 minutos associado à tDCS sham. A participante foi avaliada no início e ao final de cada protocolo por meio da escala COMPASS 21, da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca e do nível de cortisol salivar. Resultados. No protocolo B, foram observados melhores resultados na modulação do sistema nervoso autônomo e nos níveis de cortisol salivar. Conclusão. O protocolo de exercício físico resultou em diferenças clínicas nos níveis de cortisol e na modulação do sistema nervoso autônomo.
