Gua Sha is a therapeutic method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) widely used in Asia, particularly in the treatment of chronic pain. By use of the surface-frictioning technique (called 'Gua') petechiae and a skin rash similar to millet-seed (called 'Sha') are induced. As first observations on the application of that method have been promising, we present the case of a 72-year-old woman. The patient who suffered from chronic headaches, highly profited from Gua Sha during her 14-day inpatient multimodal treatment. This case provides first evidence that Gua Sha is effective in the treatment of headaches. Further research and clinical trials are required to corroborate that evidence.
刮痧是一种在亚洲广泛使用的中医疗法,尤其用于治疗慢性疼痛。通过表面摩擦技术(称为“刮”)可诱发瘀点和类似粟粒的皮疹(称为“痧”)。由于对该方法应用的初步观察结果很有前景,我们介绍一位72岁女性的病例。该患者患有慢性头痛,在为期14天的住院多模式治疗中,刮痧使其受益匪浅。该病例首次证明刮痧对治疗头痛有效。需要进一步的研究和临床试验来证实这一证据。
