A significant aid to migraine relief
There have now been many controlled trials of acupuncture for migraine headaches, with some large, high-quality ones in recent years. The results of the latest reviews are quite consistent: acupuncture is significantly better than no treatment or basic care for managing migraine headaches.
How does the treatment help?
It provides pain relief - by stimulating nerves located in muscles and other tissues, acupuncture leads to release of endorphins and other neurohumoral factors and changes the processing of pain in the brain and spinal cord (Zhao 2008, Zijlstra 2003, Pomeranz, 1987).
It also helps in reducing inflammation - by promoting release of vascular and immuno-modulatory factors (Kim 2008, Kavoussi 2007, Zijlstra 2003)
