This systematic review and meta-analysis looked at the effectiveness of acupressure for treating migraines. The researchers analyzed data from 20 randomized controlled trials involving a total of 1,959 participants. They found that acupressure was associated with significant reductions in migraine frequency, intensity, and duration compared to control groups.

This randomized controlled trial investigated the efficacy of self-administered acupressure for headache relief. Participants were trained to apply acupressure to specific points, including the Hegu (LI4) point. The study found that those who performed regular self-acupressure experienced a significant reduction in headache frequency and intensity compared to the control group. The research emphasized the potential of self-administered acupressure as a cost-effective and accessible method for headache management.

This pilot study explored the effects of acupressure on both pain and anxiety levels in patients with chronic tension-type headaches. The research involved a small group of participants who received acupressure treatments targeting specific points, including those commonly used for headache relief. The results indicated that acupressure not only reduced headache pain intensity but also decreased anxiety levels associated with chronic headaches.

This comprehensive network meta-analysis examined 39 studies involving 4,379 patients across various acupuncture-related therapies. The research highlighted the particular effectiveness of acupoint injection for migraine treatment. The findings provide a hierarchical evaluation of different acupuncture-based approaches in migraine management.

The study published in JAMA Internal Medicine in April 2017 by Zhao et al. investigated the long-term effects of true acupuncture compared with sham acupuncture and a waiting list control group for migraine prophylaxis. The 24-week randomized clinical trial included 249 participants who suffered from migraines without aura. The findings revealed that true acupuncture significantly reduced the frequency of migraine attacks compared to sham acupuncture and the waiting list group, suggesting that true acupuncture can offer a long-term reduction in migraine recurrence.

This systematic review examines the safety and efficacy of acupuncture for migraine treatment through the analysis of randomized controlled trials. The findings suggest that acupuncture, when compared to sham acupuncture or medication, may reduce migraine frequency and intensity with fewer side effects, making it a viable alternative or supplement to conventional treatments. The review highlights acupuncture's high safety profile, bolstering its recommendation as a treatment option for migraine sufferers.

This comprehensive review examines acupuncture's evolution from traditional practice to modern medical intervention. The study presents compelling evidence for reducing both migraine frequency and severity. Notable findings include acupuncture's favorable comparison to conventional treatments with fewer side effects.

This randomized clinical trial investigated the long-term efficacy of acupuncture for migraine prophylaxis in 249 patients with migraine without aura over 24 weeks. True acupuncture significantly reduced the frequency of migraine attacks compared to sham acupuncture and a waiting-list control, with benefits persisting during the 20-week follow-up period. The study demonstrated improvements in attack frequency, migraine days, and pain intensity.
