Abstract

A migraine was a headache disorder characterized by recurrent moderate to severe headaches. The diagnosis was based on clinical signs and symptoms. Medication, physical therapy, nerve block, and nerve stimulation could be applied for treatment. This report described a case of severe migraine without aura that lasted several weeks periodically in a 59-year-old woman. Periodic headache had lasted for more than 14 years, and although she took medicines and nerve blocks, severe pain (VAS 7) was persisted. We recommended her to use the thermo-spinal massage device (CGM MB-1401, CERAGEM Inc., Cheonan, South Korea) continuously three times a week applying in semi-automatic mode around the neck for 40 minutes. There was no change in the pain scale in the automatic mode for the first 4 weeks. Subsequently, the semi-automatic mode of the cervical area was treated for 2 weeks to relieve the pain scale, and it was confirmed that the relieved state maintained for 2 months. This case highlighted the importance in considering thermo-spinal massage devices for managing migraine without aura.

편두통은 중등도 내지 중증의 두통이 재발하는 것을 특징으로 하는 두통 장애이다. 진단은 임상 징후 및 증상을 기반으로 하며, 약물 치료, 물리 치료, 신경 차단 및 신경 자극이 치료에 적용될 수 있다. 이 보고서는 59세 여성의 심각한 무전조성 편두통 사례에 대한 것이다. 환자는 정기적으로 두통이 14년 이상 지속되었으며, 약과 신경 차단제를 복용했지만 심한 통증 (VAS 7)이 지속되어 왔다. 우리는 척주 온열 마사지 기기(CGM MB-1401)를 편두통 환자에게 6주간 주 3회씩 40분간 처치하였다. 최초 4주간의 자동모드에서는 통증척도에 변화가 없었다. 이후 경추부 반자동 모드를 2주간 처치하여 통증척도가 완화되었으며, 두 달 동안 통증이 없는 상태로 유지되었음을 확인하였다. 본 사례는 무전조성 편두통을 관리하기 위해 척주 온열 마사지기 적용을 고려할 수 있음을 강조한다.
