Abstract
Objective: This study addresses a case of fibromyalgia with insomnia and dry mouth.Methods: A patient diagnosed with fibromyalgia was treated with Korean medicine including herbal therapy with <i>Guibiondam-tang-gagam</i>, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, moxibustion, and chuna for 16 days. To evaluate the therapeutic effects, sleeping hours, time taken to fall asleep, and surprise on waking were assessed, and a numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to monitor dry mouth.Results: After treatment, the patient’s sleeping hours increased, time taken to fall asleep decreased, and the patient woke up surprised less often. The NRS score for dry mouth also decreased.Conclusion: These results suggest that Korean medicine therapies with <i>Guibiondam-tang-gagam</i> have a beneficial effect on insomnia and dry mouth as additional symptoms of fibromyalgia.
