Brief Summary:
Headache disorders HDs which are characterized by recurrent headache constitute a public-health problem of enormous proportions with an impact on both the individual sufferer and society The stated goals of long-term headache treatment are to reduce the frequency severity and disability associated with acute attacks decrease the reliance on poorly tolerated ineffective or unwanted acute pharmacotherapies and avoid acute headache medication escalation There is risk for adverse events leading some patients to refuse prophylactic therapy Acupuncture is widely used for the treatment of headaches and it may be applied as a single modality as well as part of a more complex treatment program The objective of this study will be to investigate whether acupuncture in routine clinical practice Real World Data is more effective than treatment of acute migraine attacks or routine care only in reducing headache frequency
Detailed Description:
A Cochrane systematic review published in 2016 concluded that acupuncture was at least as effective as or possibly more effective than preventive drug treatment for migraine prophylaxis with fewer side effects compared with conventional treatments Cochrane reviews of tension-type headache conclude that acupuncture could be a valuable non-pharmacological tool in patients with frequent episodic and chronic tension-type headache
