|
Purpose ; lension-type headache is the most common headache. The effect of acupuncture for headache is already known, but the methods and technique of acupuncture is varied. Choice of acupuncture points is mostly relied on experience. Moreover, objective evaluation of acupuncture effects is lacking.
Objective ; The objective of this study is to assess the difference of effects between dry needling on trigger point and dry needling on remote acupuncture point. The patients who were diagnosed as tension-type headache and administrated herb-medication were divided into two groups: Trigger point dry needling group and remote acupuncture point dry needling group, matching in sex, age. The degree of pain was measured by visual analogue scale(VAS) two times, before and after dry needling.
Conclusion ; VAS showed significant decrement after dry needling on tension-type headache in both groups, but there was no statistically significant difference between two groups according to sex, age and duration. In addition, it is not statistically approved that there exists the difference of VAS between two groups about the treatment effects.
