Description

We report on a case of severe generalized pain due to fibromyalgia syndrome, which was successfully treated with a variation of byakkoto. A 65-year-old Japanese woman had severe generalized pain which grew worse in warm environments, such as during the summer or when bathing. She also had pollakidipsia. We utilized a variation of byakkoto on the assumption that she was suffered from high inner heat. Her severe generalized pain resolved with this therapy. Although bushi-zai and saiko-zai are common prescriptions for fibromyalgia syndrome, byakkoto-variations may also be effective in cases where conditions are worsened by heat effect.
