简要总结
The investigators aimed to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on attack frequency, pain intensity, and disability in migraine without aura patients who receive prophylaxis treatment.
详细描述
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.
