acupuncture cure a migraine


acupuncture cure a migraine
Acupuncture as often applied by physicians and doctors Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can reduce migraine pain. , A new study reveals. The Italian researchers found that regular treatments with the right acupuncture helped improve symptoms in 32 patients suffering from migraine which is resistant or immune to the drug.

Moreover, this therapy works more effectively than the other two forms of fake acupuncture used for comparison. Thus expressed the researchers in the medical journal Headache.

In previous studies, leaving a result which is a contradiction of migraine with acupuncture treatment. Some researchers consider that the improper use of acupuncture, using blunted needles and not to penetrate the skin is also said to reduce symptoms such as real acupuncture.
Of course this leaves a question about the biological effects of acupuncture.

Even so, the problem, in this study, there are inconsistencies design (research), as well as the use of points or acupuncture points that are inconsistent with the supposed point titk stabbed.

Acupuncture has been used for more than 2000 years in China to overcome the diverse treatment of health problems. According to this traditional treatment, specific points on the acupuncture points are related to the internal body that carry energy or Qi (chi), and stimulating these points with needles can increase the flow of this Qi.

In the latest study, Dr. Enrico Facco from the University of Padua and his colleagues looked at how traditional acupuncture compared with pretend acupuncture technique (without needle) to prevent migraines.

They randomly meilih 160 patients who experienced migraine into four groups: In kelompo one, patients received twice-weekly sessions of traditional acupuncture. The second group underwent acupuncture sham. The third group also underwent acupuncture to pretend but menggunaka needle inserted in the pivot-point ttik real acupuncture.
And the fourth group was a control group who did not receive acupuncture treatment at all.

More than six months, Facco team found, only the group receiving acupuncture needle puncture with the fitting of healing from migraine compared with the control group. The new main factor of this research is that this therapy based on traditional medicine though, but using western scientific way.

The results are promising, said Facco, but further research is needed to confirm the benefits of traditional acupuncture for migraine. However, Facco added, since this therapy is only a small side effect, can be used for those who suffer from migraines that can not be resolved with standard treatment.

Unclear exactly why acupuncture can reduce migraine. Added to the traditional theory based on the concept of Qi, the modern research of acupuncture on migraine suggests that acupuncture may work by way of transferring signals between nerve cells or affecting the release of various chemicals in the central nervous system.
