Description
Migraine and tension headache disable millions, and two medical traditions treat them differently: Western care leans on drugs, while Korean medicine adds acupuncture and herbs. Six researchers lay out a study protocol in 2025 to test both together. Adults with primary headache at hospitals in a national pilot project choose combined care or usual single-tradition care. The team will follow them for twelve weeks at several centers.
Outcomes include headache days per month, pain scores, quality-of-life scales, and a headache impact test. The economic side counts cost per quality-adjusted life year gained. The authors aim to give policymakers real-world evidence on whether collaborative care earns its cost.
