Yes! A Cochrane review of 4,419 patients showed that acupuncture is AS effective as traditional migraine headache treatment in the prevention of headaches. Evidence has shown that acupuncture, when used in addition to, or in place of, routine medical management (medications) reduces the frequency of migraine headaches.
Europe is more progressive than the US with 21.4% of English physicians performing acupuncture (or referring patients for acupuncture). In Germany, acupuncture is the most commonly used preventive treatment for migraine headaches.
Hmmmmmm. . . interesting—and effective–treatment option.
