Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of acupuncture on migraine prophylaxis.
Method: Articles were searched from the online databases: PubMed, OASIS, NDSL, and RISS. The search keywords were “migraine prophylaxis” and “acupuncture.” The inclusion criterion was randomized clinical trial. The exclusion criteria were in vivo, vitro, and review articles.
Results: Eighty-nine articles were found among those published until March 2019. After reviewing the title, abstract, and original article, 10 articles were selected to show the effect of acupuncture for migraine prophylaxis.
Conclusion: The effect of acupuncture for the frequency and number of days of a migraine and for the intensity of the pain seems to be effective, but the mechanism does not appear to be clear. Therefore, further research is needed in future acupuncture for migraine prevention.
