Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Patients with chronic pain, such as fibromyalgia, have adverse effects such as daily emotional instability, depression, and lack of sleep, resulting in lower quality of life. However, there are no drugs available to date that improve patients' quality of life. On the other hand, aromatic phytotherapy (aromatherapy) has long been used in various life situations and has been used to improve the quality of life of healthy individuals. If the usefulness of aromatherapy for fibromyalgia patients is scientifically elucidated, it will lead to the active use of aromatherapy in the medical field. Therefore, in this application, we will study the effects of essential oils for the purpose of acquiring clinical data for scientific elucidation.
