Recent research has shed new light on the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating migraines. Studies have shown that acupuncture can significantly reduce the intensity, frequency, and duration of migraines, offering a safe and effective alternative to conventional treatments. This non-invasive therapy works by stimulating specific points on the body, helping to regulate the nervous system and reduce inflammation. Notably, research also highlights how combining acupuncture with traditional medication can yield even better results, shortening the duration of migraine attacks and offering sustained relief over time​.

One of the key mechanisms through which acupuncture works is by altering abnormal brain activity linked to migraines. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce neuro-inflammation, modulate pain pathways, and regulate the neuroendocrine-immune system, which are all crucial in controlling migraine symptoms. This therapy may also impact neurotransmitters like serotonin, helping to balance mood and pain perception..

Beyond migraine relief, acupuncture is gaining recognition for its role in managing other neurological conditions. Studies suggest that acupuncture can improve symptoms related to chronic pain, neurological disorders, and conditions like trigeminal neuralgia. By targeting inflammation and neural sensitization, it offers a holistic, non-pharmacological option for patients seeking relief from chronic neurological symptoms
