Distribution and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine patterns in 165 patients with fibromyalgia syndrome
To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patterns of fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and compare the demographic characteristics and the severity of patients with different TCM patterns.
Methods
2
Using a cross-sectional survey
TCM patterns were divided into the cold dampness obstruction pattern
liver qi stagnation pattern
qi-blood stagnation pattern
liver-gall bladder damp-heat pattern
deficiency of liver and kidney pattern
deficiency of liver blood pattern
and combination patterns (two patterns involved at the same time). By administering the "FMS TCM Pattern Questionnaire"
we investigated the TCM pattern distribution of FMS patients and compared their demographic characteristics. Then
five internationally recognized evaluation scales of FMS were used to assess the severity of the condition
including the Visual Analogue Scale
Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory
Beck Depression Inventory
and Perceived Stress Scale.
Results
2
A total of 165 patients’ clinical information was collected; 97 FMS patients had a single TCM pattern
including 27 cases of the deficiency of liver and kidney pattern (16.4%)
25 cases of the liver qi stagnation pattern (15.2%)
17 cases of the qi-blood stagnation stasis pattern (10.3%)
14 cases of liver-gallbladder damp-heat pattern (8.5%)
7 cases of the cold dampness obstruction pattern (4.2%)
and 7 cases of the liver blood deficiency pattern (4.2%). Moreover
there were 34 cases of the combined liver qi stagnation pattern with liver blood deficiency pattern (20.6%) and 34 cases of other combined patterns (20.6%). Patients with different patterns had differences in gender
age
smoking
education level
and income. Patients with the liver blood deficiency pattern had a relatively long course of the disease. Patients with the liver qi stagnation pattern had a relatively high degree of depression. Finally
patients with the cold dampness obstruction pattern had a relatively mild overall condition.
Conclusion
2
In the distribution of FMS patterns
excess pattern and pattern of intermingled deficiency and excess are major
while deficiency pattern is only a small part. The excessive pathogens mainly include qi stagnation
blood stasis
and cold dampness
while the vital qi deficiency mainly includes blood deficiency and yin deficiency. The yang deficiency is relatively rare
and the pathological changes of viscera are mainly in the liver. Thus
TCM pattern typing may be related to demographic characteristics and the severity of disease.
