Abstract

Objective: This study reports on the improvement in chest pain, abdominal pain, and physical exhaustion in a So-eum patient diagnosed with autonomic dysfunction and fibromyalgia complicated by diabetes following treatment with Korean medicine. Methods: A patient received Korean medicine treatments, including acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal formulas such as Daegunjoong-tang and Sojukgunbi-hwan. The patient's improvement was evaluated using the numeric rating scale (NRS) and the autonomic nerve function (ANF) test. Results: After receiving Korean medicine treatments, the patient showed improvement in the NRS and the ANF test. Conclusion: This case suggests that Korean medicine may be effective in treating chest pain, abdominal pain, and physical exhaustion in a So-eum patient with autonomic dysfunction and fibromyalgia complicated by diabetes.
