|
|
Objective: The cause of fibromyalgia is not defined precisely. Fibromyalgia has numerous symptoms that tend to vary from person-to-person. Several different treatments have emerged in recent times. This case will report on traditional Korean medicine patients who suffer from multiple pain and physical disorders when fibromyalgia is suspected.
Method: During a hospitalization period, a patient was given a combination of traditional Korean medicine therapy (such as herbal medicine and acupuncture) and analgesic drugs. We measured the state and progress of this case using Numeric rating scale and EuroQol-5D.
Results: After the treatments, the patient’s pain was controlled and the NRS score decreased. The overall symptoms of the patient and the EQ-5D both improved positively.
Conclusion: Traditional Korean medicine treatment helps to relieve the symptoms of fibromyalgia.
