Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study is to report the effects of Korean medical treatment with ByeolGab pharmacopuncture on a patient with a tension-type headache. Methods: We treated a tension-type headache using Korean medical treatment including ByeolGab pharmacopuncture for 6 days a week for 2 weeks. As a measurement, the numerical rating scale (NRS), the Henry Ford Headache Disability Inventory (HDI), and a six point Likert scale were used to confirm pharmacopuncture therapy efficacy. Results: After treatment, symptoms related to tension-type headache and other complaints were decreased and evaluation using the NRS, HDI, and six-point scale showed improvement in the patient. Conclusions: This study shows that Korean medical treatment with ByeolGab pharmacopuncture has beneficial effects on control of tension-type headache and improvement in quality of life for patients.
