Abstract

|
|
Objectives: This case report presents the effects of Korean medicine treatment in a patient with a new daily, persistent headache.
Methods: A 58-year-old female patient with a new daily, persistent headache was treated with Yonggakgyodaeyeong-tang and Kyoungbang Chungsanggyuntong-tang granules, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and chuna therapy for 68 days. Headache and neck disability were assessed using a numeric rating scale (NRS), the headache impact test-6 (HIT-6), and the neck disability index (NDI).
Results: After 68 days of treatment, headache was relieved, as measured by an NRS decrease from 7 to 4. In addition, the HIT score decreased from 30 to 18, and the NDI score decreased from 42 to 20.
Conclusion: These results show that a daily, persistent headache can be relieved with Korean medicine treatment. However, additional well-designed studies are required to confirm these findings.
