This 23rd volume of the Evidence-based Clinical Chinese Medicine series
aims to provide a multi-faceted ""whole evidence"" analysis of the
management of Episodic Migraine in integrative Chinese medicine.
Beginning with overviews of how Episodic Migraine is conceptualized and
managed in both conventional medicine and contemporary Chinese medicine,
the authors then provide detailed analyses of how Episodic Migraine were
treated with herbal medicine and acupuncture in past eras. In the
subsequent chapters, the authors comprehensively review the current
state of the clinical trial evidence for Chinese herbal medicines
(Chapter 5), acupuncture and other Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter
7), and combination Chinese medicine therapies (Chapter 8) in the
management of Episodic Migraine, as well as analyse and evaluate the
results of these studies from an evidence-based medicine perspective. In
Chapter 6, the authors review and summarize experimental evidence for
the bioactivity of commonly used Chinese herbs in Chapter 6. The
outcomes of these analyses are summarised and Chapter 1 Introduction to
Migraine. This book can inform clinicians and students in the fields of
integrative medicine and Chinese medicine regarding contemporary
practice and the current evidence base for a range of Chinese medicine
therapies used in the management of Episodic Migraine, including herbal
formulas and acupuncture treatments, in order to assist clinicians in
making evidence-based decisions in patient care.
