Case Report: Migraine

Abstract

The use of acupuncture for neurological disorders and pain management is increasing annually. Patients often seek alternative therapies due to the lack of improvement with conventional treatments and the potential side effects of pharmaceutical interventions. This case study describes the assessment and treatment of a patient presenting with migraines, exploring possible differential diagnoses. It demonstrates the clinical reasoning process of applying Chinese medicine knowledge and experience to diagnose and treat the patient. A treatment protocol is provided, which resulted in positive patient outcomes.
