Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to report the efficacy of using Korean medicine treatment with cervicogenic dizziness and headache.Methods: We used Korean medicine treatments (herbal medicines, acupuncture, pharmaco-acupuncture, and Chuna) to treat a hospitalized patient with cervicogenic dizziness and headache. The treatments were assessed using the Korean Dizziness Handicap Inventory (K-DHI) to evaluate the degree of dizziness. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) was used to evaluate headaches and post-traumatic neck pain. General health status was evaluated using the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions (EQ-5d) scale.Results: The patient’s NRS and EQ-5d scores improved after treatment. The change in the K-DHI scores showed that the patient’s cervicogenic dizziness symptoms were relieved.Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that Korean medicine therapies may be effective for treating cervicogenic dizziness and headaches.
