Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine method that has been used for 3000 years to control symptoms, treat illnesses, and relieve pain. Acupuncture is widely used in many countries today as a complementary therapy, especially in cases of chronic pain. Migraine is one of the diseases in which acupuncture treatment is commonly used. Studies conducted so far have focused more on the effect of acupuncture on pain intensity in patients with migraine. Data comparing the impact of acupuncture on both the attack frequency and disability in migraine are relatively scarce.
