Abstract
Objectives: The Purpose of this study is to report three cases on tension-type headache treated by Chuna manipulative therapy. Methods: Three patients diagnosed tension-type headache were treated with Chuna manipulative therapy only. To evaluate effect of treatment, visual analogue scale(VAS) and headache impact test(HIT) were used. We checked VAS and HIT score three times(pretreatment, post-treatment, follow-up). An interval among each evaluation time is 4 weeks. Results: At post-treatment evaluation, VAS and HIT score declined significantly compared with pre-treatment. At follow-up evaluation, the pain did not increased. Conclusions: These results suggests that Chuna manipulative therapy may be effective for tension-type headache.
