Researchers from Brazil assessed the effectiveness of acupuncture as an auxiliary analgesic treatment for chronic headaches. The results of their study, which also described the influence of this treatment on a person’s quality of life, were published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies.
Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that acupuncture can be considered an auxiliary treatment for chronic headaches because it can reduce the intensity of pain, the number of crisis, and the quantity of analgesics used, and improve the quality of life of patients with this painful condition.
