Abstract

|
|
Objective: This study reports a clinical case of headache accompanied by epilepsy that showed improvement with Korean medicine treatments.
Methods: A 67-year-old woman with headache was treated with Korean medicine therapies, including Cheongshimondam-tang, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and cupping, for 14 days. The response before and after treatment was evaluated using the Numerical Rating Scale, Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6), and Quality of Life in Epilepsy-10 (QOLIE-10).
Results: After the treatments, the headache was relieved from NRS 8 to NRS 1, and anxiety decreased from NRS 7 to NRS 2. The HIT-6 changed from 66 to 48, and the QOLIE-10 dropped from 44 to 30.
Conclusion: This study suggests that combined Korean medicine treatments might be a therapeutic option for relieving headache with epilepsy.
