In addition, acupuncture was more effective than medication to alleviate pain intensity.…”

A Randomized Clinical Trial on Acupuncture Versus Best Medical Therapy in Episodic Migraine Prophylaxis: The Acumigran Study

“…First, our results are in line with previous studies on the effectiveness of acupuncture to standard pharmacologic treatment showing acupuncture to be ''at least non-inferior'' to conventional treatments in episodic migraine [8][9][10]. However, methodological heterogeneity precludes aggregation of these data and impacts comparison among studies [9][10].…”

Treatment of headache disorders with acupuncture: a 6-year retrospective study

“…Safety is an important consideration in the management of chronic conditions such as HDs. Acupuncture showed mild adverse effects in the treatment of HDs, similar to other studies 7 , 8,14 and no patients discontinued the treatment.…”
