German term or phrase: sich gelegen
Der Arzt schreibt, dass der Patient anfangs ausgeprägte Nackenschmerzen hatte und auf die halbe Dosis reduziert wurde (20mg 1-0-1), dies dürfte sich wieder gelegt haben und er läuft nun wieder unter voller Dosierung (40mg 1-0-1).

Does "dürfte sich wieder gelegt haben" mean that the "Nackenschmerzen" subsided?

Thank you!

Explanation:
the symptoms appeared with the higher dosage, probably a side effect, but then when they halved the dosage, it subsided. So they put the patient on the full dosage again.

To calm down


Explanation:
Here in this context, the translation will be :
It is the doctor's report that the patient suffered from severe neck pain in the beginning and was reduced to half the dose (20mg 1-0-1), this should have calmed down again (the patient should have a relief from severe neck pain) and now the patient is under full dosage again (40mg 1-0-1).

have settled


Explanation:
"These symptoms appear to have settled again, so now he is back on the full dose." This is how I would say "duerfte sich wieder gelegt haben". Hope this helps.

Example sentence(s):
  • If severe symptoms arise on the LOFFLEX diet it is sometimes necessary to go back to the liquid diet and then restart food testing once the symptoms have settled again.

has diminished


Explanation:
There's no such thing as "sich gelegen" in this context. It's either "sich gelegt haben" or "sich legen"..

(the pain) .. appears to have since diminished..

I think this is the appropriate term here. Compare:

"I'm happy to report that the pain has diminished by about 90% now."
