Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this review was to analyze the trend of clinical research related to fibromyalgia and to suggest the direction of intervention
Methods: We reviewed the clinical research by searching seven Korean web databases and classified the studies by the year of publication, academic field, and study design.
Results: A total of 75 clinical studies were selected. Except for 2002, more than one study was annually published; however, the number was below 10. In the academic field, there were 34 in the medical field, 21 in the Korean medicine field, and 15 in the nursing science field. By study design, there were 62 observational studies, mostly case reports and case-control studies. There were 13 experimental studies, including non-random control studies and one group pre and post-test design studies.
Conclusions: Fibromyalgia-related clinical research requires a greater number of studies, and a study design with a high level of evidence should be conducted along with various observational and intervention studies. Additionally, multidisciplinary and integrated intervention plans and research are needed.
