Q I have migraines; can I receive treatment for both migraines and cluster headaches?
A Since both conditions share trigeminal nerve hypersensitivity and liver heat as common pathologies, simultaneous treatment is possible and effective.
Detailed Answer
Coexistence of Migraines + Cluster Headaches
Although these two conditions are diagnosed differently, they appear simultaneously in some patients. While Western medicine uses different preventive medications for each, Korean medicine treats the common root of trigeminal nerve hypersensitivity and liver heat.
Dongjedang's Integrated Treatment
We formulate a personalized prescription that addresses both conditions simultaneously by combining herbal medicine-based prescriptions that reduce damp heat in the liver with migraine-specific prescription elements (herbal medicines that treat phlegm and dizziness). Pharmacopuncture on the back of the neck and temples is an effective acupoint for both conditions. Providing detailed information about your migraine symptoms during the consultation allows for a more precise prescription.
