The desert of migraine is a painful and often debilitating landscape, with its intense throbbing headaches and associated symptoms. This study explores the potential of acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, to provide relief from migraine attacks. The authors employed an orthogonal experimental design to compare the effectiveness of different acupuncture approaches, including manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and bloodletting, in managing migraine pain.

The authors' meticulous analysis of the data revealed that manual acupuncture at regional and distal acupoints, combined with electroacupuncture at otopoints and bloodletting at Taiyang (EX-HN 5) + Ashi points, provided the most stable and effective relief from migraine attacks. Their findings suggest that acupuncture can be a valuable tool for managing migraine pain, offering a potential alternative or complementary approach to traditional pharmaceutical treatments.
