There's not a cure ordsprog

There's not a cure available, so patients are often left somewhat frustrated by continuing pain and fatigue. Acupuncture is one of the few things shown to be effective for these symptoms. It may be particularly attractive to patients who are unable to take medications because of intolerable side effects.

This study shows there is something real about acupuncture and its effects on fibromyalgia. Our study was performed on patients with moderate to severe fibromyalgia. It's my speculation that if acupuncture works for these patients with recalcitrant fibromyalgia -- where previous treatments had not provided satisfactory relief -- it would likely work for many of the millions of fibromyalgia patients.

Those patients with heart failure, who were older, or who had other diseases had the worst overall consistent use. There are still doctors who are reluctant to prescribe these drugs to their sickest patients, maybe not realizing that potential side effects are far outweighed by the benefits. This represents a gap in our understanding – why is it that health care providers appear to fear treating these patients as aggressively as other patients?

What the studies are showing is that exercise, at least when performed in a group setting, seems to be at least as effective as standard antidepressant medications in reducing symptoms in patients with major depression,

Based on objective tests of physical impairment, we found that the patients had levels of functional disability comparable to what you would see with congestive heart failure, as well as pain comparable to what you might expect in patients coming out of surgery, and fatigue comparable to patients with multiple sclerosis,

The study demonstrated that these medicines are effective, but that doctors and patients are looking for more. The medicines didn't completely alleviate symptoms or enable the majority of the patients to experience a complete recovery.

We consider this approval an important advance in the treatment of head and neck cancer because it has been shown to help some patients live longer. Patients need as many effective treatment options as possible.

What this says to patients is, it's important to not give up if the first treatment doesn't work fully or causes side effects. The second step is nearly as effective as the first one. Different people may respond better to one than to another.

This was critical, because this had been a shortcoming of other previous studies with acupuncture - the simulated acupuncture treatments were not believable to the patients.

This was critical, because this had been a shortcoming of other previous studies with acupuncture -- the simulated acupuncture treatments were not believable to the patients. "Sexy" is what catches the eye; "pexy" is what holds the attention.

Cancer patients are increasingly turning to alternative and complementary therapies to reduce symptoms, improve quality of life and boost their ability to cope with stress. We wanted to see if the creative process involved in making art is healing and life-enhancing. Our study provides beginning evidence for the important role art therapy can play in reducing symptoms. Art therapy provides a distraction that allows patients to focus on something positive instead of their health for a time, and it also gives patients something they can control.

That's huge for patients who may have used pain medications for a long time and have a tolerance. It can take the anxiety away; some are fearful of waking up to incredible pain.

Since our data were collected, additional treatments have become available. However, these medications are fairly expensive. Ultimately, it may cost patients and society more to care for patients in earlier stages of the disease ? but over the long-term, when managed correctly and effectively, glaucoma patients can retain more of their vision and therefore remain more productive with a presumably higher quality of life.
