Nocturnal Noise and Warmth Acupuncture: Migraine Relief Insights

Research Summary

A study published in Noise Health explored how nocturnal environmental noise affects migraines and the efficacy of warmth acupuncture therapy. Researchers examined 220 migraine patients divided into two groups based on noise exposure: low noise (≤45 dB(A)) and high noise (>45 dB(A)). All participants received warmth acupuncture. After one month, the low-noise group showed significantly better outcomes in pain reduction, sleep quality, anxiety levels, and biochemical markers like phosphorylated protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε) than the high-noise group. Higher noise levels correlated with increased PKCε pathway markers, highlighting the potential impact of environmental noise on migraine severity and treatment response.
