Research Summary
A new study published in Frontiers in Neurology explores the efficacy of acupuncture as a treatment for chronic migraine. This multicenter randomized controlled trial will involve 180 participants diagnosed with chronic migraine, divided into a 2:1 ratio for either acupuncture or sham acupuncture. Over a 6-week period, participants will receive three sessions per week, followed by an 8-week follow-up. The primary focus is on the reduction in monthly headache days between weeks 3-6, with secondary outcomes looking at medication use, quality of life, and pain severity.
