Lumbar puncture is an essential procedure for obtaining fluid from spinal meningeal spaces, and post-lumbar puncture headache is the most frequent adverse event. This case report evaluates the effects of treatment with traditional Korean medicine on a patient suffering post-lumbar puncture headache using the Headache Disability Inventory (HDI) and the visual analog scale (VAS). The patient’s HDI score decreased from 46 to 6 after treatment, and the VAS score decreased from 62 to 5. The results suggest that traditional Korean medicine can be helpful in managing post-lumbar puncture headache.
