Zusammenfassung

Die Anzahl von alternativen Therapieangeboten ist bei chronischen Kopfschmerzen, ähnlich wie bei anderen chronischen Erkrankungen, nicht überschaubar. Im Gegensatz aber zu vielen anderen Bereichen der Medizin gibt es für das Gebiet der Kopfschmerzbehandlung erste wissenschaftliche Studien, die sich mit dem Wert dieser Verfahren im Vergleich zu Standardverfahren befassen. Dieses gilt insbesondere für pflanzliche Wirkstoffe (z. B. Pestwurz) oder die Akupunktur. Im Folgenden wird gegliedert nach Phytotherapie, Nahrungsergänzungsstoffen, physikalischen Verfahren (Akupunktur), operativen Verfahren, psychologischen Verfahren und zuletzt magnetischer/elektrischer Stimulation, ein Überblick über den Stand der wissenschaftlichen Diskussion gegeben.

Summary

The number of therapy options for chronic headaches are uncountable, similarly to other chronic diseases. In contrast to other areas of medical science, in the area of headache therapy there are first scientific studies about the efficiency of so-called alternative treatment options in comparison to classic therapy. Studies are especially available for phytotherapy, food supplements, physical therapy, acupuncture, surgical procedures, and stimulation with electrical or magnetic fields. The following article gives a summary of the current discussion.
