Whether Acupuncture helps lessen headaches is the subject of a recent research. A research that was just released in Neurology, the official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, suggests that may lessen the discomfort experienced by those who suffer from chronic tension-type headaches. Mild to moderately severe pressing or tightening sensations on both sides of the head are the most typical symptom of tension-type headaches. These headaches do not worsen with exertion and do not accompany nausea. Chronic tension-type headaches occur when they occur at least 15 days a month.
The study’s lead author, Ying Li, MD, Ph.D., of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Chengdu, China, stated that tension-type headaches are among the most prevalent forms of headaches and that those who have them frequently may be searching for non-pharmacological treatments. According to our research, Acupuncture helps those who have these excruciating and disruptive headache assaults by lowering their average monthly headache days.
At the conclusion of the trial, 68 percent of those getting real Acupuncture compared to 50% of those receiving superficial reported a monthly headache decrease of at least 50%. In both individuals who received genuine treatments and those who just received superficial treatments, researchers discovered that the number of monthly headache days steadily dropped following treatment. True Acupuncture patients saw a reduction in headache days from 20 per month at the start of the research to 7 per month by the conclusion. The number of headache days for individuals who underwent superficial fell from 23 per month at the start of the trial to 12 per month at its conclusion.
