Acupuncture is gaining increasing attention as a viable addition to the physician's armamentarium for the management of migraine patients.

Evidence is available showing acupuncture’s measurable effects on both the duration and frequency of migraine attacks.

In many studies, acupuncture has been shown to be a safe, efficacious and readily available alternative therapy which may be beneficial to certain migraine patients.

Further investigation is required to ensure that the incorporation of acupuncture into migraine treatment management will have a positive outcome on patients.
