Acupuncture For Migraine
And, oh my the media made a mystery of the information. Some articles are entitled "Acupuncture and sham acupuncture for migraine" to "Power of acupuncture in migraine early in the fields of study" to "Acupuncture treats migraines effectively."
How is everyone feeling for all the different opinions to make?
Bottom line: Do migraines with acupuncture or not?
Researchers from the University of Chengdu in China who conducted the study revealed the following results after 16 weeks of acupuncture vs sham acupuncture real:
* Approximately 50% of the sham acupuncture group experienced relief from their migraines
* Approximately 75% of the real acupuncture group felt relief from their migraines
So people are 25% more received support from real acupuncture versus sham acupuncture. This is very important to me, and if you are a migraine sufferer, I assume you agree.
In addition, the study showed that acupuncture has a preventive effect on the occurrence of migraine. Sense, acupuncture treatment is to help ward off the oncoming migraine.
As Dr. Mols Albrecht Berger wrote in an editorial that the study results are accompanied by "acupuncture would be a first-line treatment of migraine with other non-drug treatments such as biofeedback, cognitive behavioral therapy and changes in lifestyle. All this can be achieved even if the acupuncture point selection is not as dogmatic as proposed by the Chinese system "Dr Mols Berger went on to explain that the sham acupuncture - the insertion of acupuncture needles at random points - not a real placebo when patients are still ". sewn "and can therefore affect Qi in their body and their ability to heal. He also noted that the meta-analysis evaluating the experiences of acupuncture have shown that acupuncture is at least as effective as drug therapy, with fewer side effects.
