Abstract

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate incidence rate, clinical features and treatment of headache followed after acupotomy. And based on that, we study correlating between post acupotomy headache and post-lumbar puncture headache(PLPH). Methods : From September 1st, 2007 to December 31st, 2007, the 73 inpatients who admitted to Daejeon Oriental hospital and underwent acupotomy on lumbar spine and cervical spine etc. more than once were observed. Then 9 inpatients who occurred headache after acupotomy was analyzed according to incidence rate, gender, age, clinical features. Results : We investigated clinical features of post acupotomy headache and made comparative study of post acupotomy headache and PLPH. The average frequency of post acupotomy headache was about 12.3%. The risk factors are undergoing acupotomy on lumbar spine, young age. Gender does not affect the incidence of post acupotomy headache. Patients complain of headache which worsen when the patients is upright and improve after the patients lie back down in a few minutes. Those clinical features are similar to PLPH. Conclusions : Although two type of headache have significant similarities, there is no enough evidence to support this study. In addition, the cause and treatment of post acupotomy headache are still unclear. Thus, based on the above study, more studies have to be investigated.
