Significant relief for Headache using Acupuncture
Studies at Duke University Medical Center analyzed more than 30 studies on acupuncture and pain relief for a variety of conditions, including chronic headaches. Acupuncture was found to decrease pain with fewer side effects and was less expensive than medication long-term.
In other studies, pain relief not only occurred during the treatment phase, but also in the six months following care according to the studies. Acupuncture seems to help with all different types of headaches—migraines, tension, cluster were among the types of headaches studied.
Acupuncture appears to reduce both the intensity and the frequency of headaches.
