Fibromyalgia

The frequency of visits for Korean medicine treatment for fibromyalgia varies depending on the symptom stage. Initial intensive phase (1–4 weeks): 2–3 times a week; the goal is a 40–50% reduction in pain and improved sleep. Maintenance phase (1–3 months): Once a week; the goal is the recovery of daily function and prevention of flares. Stabilization phase: Once every 2–4 weeks; the goal is long-term maintenance and prevention of recurrence. Herbal medicine is usually prescribed in 2-week to 1-month increments, and the dosage is adjusted according to the treatment response. Personalized scheduling consultations are available to accommodate realistic constraints, such as distance to the clinic or work schedules. Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective The frequency of stimulation is crucial in meridian therapy. The principle behind maximizing cumulative effects is to receive the next treatment before the benefits of meridian circulation established by acupuncture or moxibustion wear off. The first four weeks are a critical period for determining the direction of treatment; visiting regularly 2 to 3 times a week during this time allows for a faster extension of the treatment cycle thereafter.
