Abstract:
Yokukansankachimpihange has been applied to practical use for some indications such as irritability, excitability, anxiety and insomnia. We report 6 cases of chronic headache patients (tension-type headache [1], migraine [2] and mixed-type headache [3]) with the significant pulsation at pit of stomach and navel, who were successfully treated with Yoku-kan-san-ka-chimpi-hange for prophylaxis. These findings suggest that Yokukansankachimpihange might be useful for not only tension-type headache but also migraine and mixed-type headache.
