Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of oriental medical treatment on chronic tension-type headache. Despite the patient was treated by cervical nerve block for headache, headache was not improved. We diagnosed chronic tension-type headache according to ICHD-II(The International Classification of Headache Disorders) and Qi deficiency, dampness and phlegm by oriental differential diagnosis of symptom and signs. We applied herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping therapy for hospitalization(7 days). Oriental medical treatment may have effective results in treating chronic tension-type headache that was not improved by cervical nerve block treatment. But this is a single case study, so further case-series research should be compiled.
