Abstract

Background: Homeopathy has been used in observational and controlled studies to treat patients with fibromyalgia (FM), but none has previously used the remedy Cannabis sativa.

Case history: A 51-year-old female patient presenting with diffuse pain and sleep disorder was diagnosed with FM using the relevant American College of Rheumatology criteria. She reported having 18 tender points, a pain score (visual analog scale, VAS) of 9.0, and a well-being VAS of 5.0. She was prescribed Cannabis sativa 6 cH, five drops sublingually thrice a day.

Results: After 2 months, she returned asymptomatic, with 0 tender points, pain VAS of 0, and well-being VAS of 9.0. The Modified Naranjo Criteria for Homeopathy score was equal to +9, suggesting the clinical outcome was causally attributable to the medicine prescribed.

Conclusion: This case study reveals the positive role of homeopathic treatment in FM. Studies using a randomized controlled design, including pragmatic trials to determine treatment effectiveness in real-world clinical practice, are indicated in this field.

大麻顺势疗法制剂成功治疗纤维肌痛患者。

背景：顺势疗法已在观察性和对照研究中用于治疗纤维肌痛（FM）患者，但此前没有一种药物使用大麻。病例历史：一名51岁的女性患者表现为弥漫性疼痛和睡眠障碍，根据美国风湿病学会的相关标准被诊断为FM。她报告有18个疼痛点，疼痛评分（视觉模拟评分，VAS）为9.0，健康VAS为5.0。给她开了6 cH的大麻，每天三次，舌下五滴。结果： 2个月后，她恢复了无症状，出现0个压痛点，疼痛VAS为0，幸福VAS为9.0。顺势疗法改良Naranjo标准评分等于+9，表明临床结果可归因于所开药物。结论：该案例研究揭示了顺势疗法治疗在FM中的积极作用。该领域采用随机对照设计进行研究，包括在现实世界临床实践中确定治疗有效性的实用试验。
