Systematic review of randomized clinical trials of complementary/alternative therapies in the treatment of tension-type and cervicogenic headache
C.S. McDermaid. C. Hagino. Howard VernonCurriculums:
Summary
Objectives:
To conduct a systematic review of the
randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of complementary/alternative (CAM)
therapies in the treatment of non-migrainous headache (i.e. excluding migraine,
cluster and organic headaches).
Design:
Systematic review with quality
scoring and evidence tables. Main outcome measures: Number of RCTs per therapy,
quality scores, evidence tables.
Results:
Twenty-four RCTs were identified in
the categories of acupuncture, spinal manipulation, electrotherapy,
physiotherapy, homeopathy and other therapies. Headache categories included
tension-type (under various names pre-1988), cervicogenic and post-traumatic.
Quality scores for the RCT reports ranged from approximately 30 to 80 on a 100
point scale.
Conclusion:
RCTs for CAM therapies of the
treatment of non-migrainous headache exist in the literature and demonstrate
that clinical experimental studies of these forms of headache can be conducted.
Evidence from a sub-set of high quality studies indicates that some CAM
therapies may be useful in the treatment of these common forms of headache.
