简要总结
This longitudinal study evaluates the effects of semi-permanent auricular acupuncture on the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activity and pressure pain threshold in adult female patients (aged 35-64) diagnosed with Fibromyalgia according to the 2016 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria. The study aims to investigate how a 5-week treatment cycle influences cardiac autonomic regulation and pain sensitivity
