ABSTRACT

Objectives : The study was performed to evaluate the effects of ElectroMagnetic Therapy treatment for patients suffering from cervicogenic headaches. Methods : After receiving medical examination at the Department of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine, College of Oriental Medicine, Dong-Guk University from November 1, 2006 to June 5, 2007, 34 patients with cervicogenic headache were devided into two groups(experimental vs control). Experimental group(n=18) was treated with both Pulsed ElectroMagnetic therapy(PEMT) and acupuncture, control group(n=16) was treated with acupuncture only. Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) was measured as a primary outcome measure, and was statistically analyzed using t-test. Results : Experimental group was effective than control group in pain intensity using VAS, because PEMT plus acupuncture was more effective than acupuncture only(p<0.05). Conclusions : The results indicate that the pulsed electromagnetic therapy is effective on treating cervicogenic headaches.
