中文摘要

神經纖維肌痛症(fibromyalgia syndrome or FMS)是臨床上偶見的症狀。患者常抱怨這邊痛或那邊痛,而且痛的發生不定,有時天冷加重,有時天熱也加重,心情鬱悶時加重,睡眠不好時加重,女性生理期來時也加重。所以被誤認為是心理症狀,並不是真正的疼痛。血液或影像檢查都沒問題。這種虛幻的疼痛,有人解釋成神經痛,認為是一種神經發炎的症狀;也有人解釋成大腦的錯誤訊息,與癲癇或是三叉神經痛一樣。這樣的解釋都有部分道理,藥物治療也都有部分的效果,但都沒有確切而穩定的療效,需要持續的服藥才能減緩。中醫治療包括針灸與中藥。本研究發現針灸能減輕症狀,減緩僵硬及痛苦,並有內在調節的效果,提升生活品質,達到全方位的治療。

英文摘要

Symptoms of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) commonly present in the clinical setting. People who have this syndrome likely complain of unspecific aches and pain that occurs in various parts of the body, which increases in severity during fluctuations in weather and temperature, depression, lack of sleep, and the female menstrual cycle. Therefore, some people consider FMS as a kind of psychological syndrome or phantom pain, instead of real pain. Blood tests and imaging investigation do not indicate any definitive cause for this syndrome. Some describe the phantom pain as a symptom of nerve inflammation or errant signals being receiving during the process of nerve transmission like in epilepsy or trigeminal neuralgia. All of these explanations are plausible and the various treatment approaches do show some degree of efficacy. However, patients must be administered medication continuously in order to achieve sustained efficacy, otherwise symptoms will often relapse. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment includes medicinals and acupuncture treatment. The results of this study showed that the acupuncture treatment effectively relieves FMS stiffness, aches, and pain and also regulates the entire body to substantially increase quality of life.
