I really want to try acupuncture for my migraines. I get them about once a week and I’ve been to a neurologist and have tried a preventative medicine and have another medicine to take if I get one. I dislike both and hate being on medicine! I’m desperate for a natural way to help stop them.
Thanks for the informative speech. I hope more patients with migraines to see the silver lining with acupuncture. If it is possible, can you let me know the reference info from 8:30 to 10:00? FYI it is marked as a small superscript 1.
very effective in China (even procedures that would be very painful) but not in the West. haven't seen anyone benefit but there is some evidence but not double-blind (to exclude placebo effect): In a study designed to investigate the efficacy of acupuncture compared with topiramate treatment for the prevention of CM, 66 patients were randomly assigned to acupuncture administered in 24 sessions over 12 weeks or topiramate 100 mg daily (89). A significantly larger decrease in the mean monthly number of moderate/ severe headache days (primary end point) was observed in the acupuncture group compared the topiramate group (P < 0.01) Significant differences favouring acupuncture were also observed for all secondary efficacy variables.

Thanks for explaining it so well
