Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The purpose of this case report is to describe the effect of Korean medicine therapy on patients with tension-type headaches.
Methods: This study consisted of four patients with tension-type headaches. The patients were treated with Korean medicine therapies, such as herbal medicine (Gunoe-tang), acupuncture, and cupping, in addition to physical therapy. None of the patients took any analgesics during the admission period. To evaluate the effects of the treatment, the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for headaches was used.
Results: After the treatment, the patients’ complaints decreased, as shown by the results of the NRS.
Conclusion: Treatment with Korean medicine may ameliorate tension-type headaches.
