Abstract
The purpose of this case report is to describe the effect of Korean medicine therapy on patient with migraine. We treated migraine for 2 months using a Korean medical treatment and six-meridian pattern identification, including herbal medicine (Soshiho-tang), acupuncture, cupping, chuna, and pharmacopuncture. The measurements included a numerical rating scale (NRS), migraine disability assessment (MIDAS), headache impact test-6 (HIT-6), and migraine specific quality of life questionnaire (MSQoL) to confirm the effectiveness of the herbal medicine treatment. After treatment, the patient's complaints decreased, as shown by the results of the NRS, MIDAS, HIT-6, and MSQoL. For migraines, Korean medical treatment and six-meridian pattern identification, such as herbal medicine (Soshiho-tang), has beneficial effects for the control of migraine and improvement in the quality of life.
