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.

Sasang Constitution Medicine(SCM)'s researches have been developed in many ways, especially Herbal medicine prescriptions and diagnosis. But there are no acceptable acupuncture theory for the Sasang Constitution. So We have tried to find the way for identifying each Sasang Constitution's acupuncture point on more reasonable methods. We studied that SCM acupuncture based on collecting Books of "Shanghanlun(傷寒論)", or Six-meridian pattern identification's acupuncture prescription. Selected books are "The Acupuncture and Moxibustion(침구학)", "Zhonghua Zhenjiuxue(中華鍼灸學)", "Zhenjiuxinchuan(鍼灸心傳)", "Shanghanlun Zhenjiupeixuexuanzhu(傷寒論鍼灸配穴選注)". So-eumin uses Conception Vessel's acupuncture points most frequently. And So-yangin and Tae-eumin use Bladder meridian and Stomach meridian's acupuncture points most. Moxibustion is used many times for So-eumin, especially at three Yin-Symptoms(三陰病). Orders for using frequencies of three Sasang constitutions' acupuncture points are: So-eumin uses ST36 CV12 CV4 most, So-yangin uses PC6 ST36 LI4 most, Tae-eumin uses ST36 LU7 CV12 most. Acupuncture for Sasang constitutions has been developed for many ways, but there are no generally acceptable theory. So we need to hold a committee for SCM and acupuncture specialist to establish acceptable and reasonable SCM acupuncture theory.
