Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The use of alternative medicine (AM) is rising globally. Hence this study aimed to assess the Use of and Satisfaction with Alternative Medicine in the management of headache and Related Factors in Individuals, living in Saudi Arabia.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted from July to December 2023 using an online questionnaire in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. The data was collected using a series, of prevalidated questionnaires aimed to assess the utilization and satisfaction of AM for the headache. Convenience sampling was applied for data collection.
UNASSIGNED: A response rate of 93.1 % (n = 550) was obtained. Among the respondents, 78.7 % reported having headaches, while 69.2 % had a history of using AMs for headaches. However, among the users of AMs, 65.9 % of them were satisfied with the results of AMs, of those who were satisfied, 33.7 % said that AMs helped to prevent headache attacks, and 53.8 % reported that AMs use reduced pain intensity. The regression results demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between the satisfaction of AM for the headache and age (p < 0.004), and Active in sports (p < 0.019) and severity of the headache pain (p < 0.081).
UNASSIGNED: The findings reported that relatively high prevalence of AMs used to manage headaches, while 65.9% of the users were satisfied with the outcomes, the satisfaction was found to have a significant relationship with age, activity in sports and severity of pain. To avoid negative effects of AM, it is recommended to use under the qualified healthcare professionals.

摘要：
■替代医学（AM）的使用正在全球范围内上升。因此，这项研究旨在评估替代医学在个人头痛和相关因素管理中的使用和满意度，生活在沙特阿拉伯。
■于2023年7月至12月在沙特阿拉伯利雅得使用在线问卷进行了一项横断面研究。数据是使用一系列数据收集的，预先验证的问卷旨在评估AM对头痛的利用率和满意度。数据收集采用方便采样。
■获得93.1%的响应率(n=550)。在受访者中，78.7%报告头痛，而69.2%有使用AMs治疗头痛的病史。然而,在AM的用户中，65.9%的人对AMs的结果感到满意，那些满意的人，33.7%的人表示AMs有助于预防头痛发作，53.8%报告使用AMs降低疼痛强度。回归结果表明，AM对头痛的满意度与年龄之间存在显着关系（p<0.004），和积极的运动（p<0.019）和严重的头痛（p<0.081）。
■研究结果表明，用于治疗头痛的AMs的患病率相对较高，而65.9%的用户对结果感到满意，发现满意度与年龄有显著关系，运动活动和疼痛的严重程度。为了避免AM的负面影响，建议在合格的医疗保健专业人员下使用。
