It is no big news that acupuncture helps migraine patients. Nevertheless, it is good to see yet another study confirming this. Maybe, once the health care mess is straightened out and common sense prevails, the insurance companies will notice all these studies and start paying for acupuncture. The latest study published in the September issue of journal Headache was controlled and randomized, that is it was scientifically sound. The Italian researchers led by Dr. Facco compared true acupuncture with sham acupuncture and no preventive treatment. They found that three and six months after the start of treatment patients in the true acupuncture group did significantly better.
