How many acupuncture treatments are needed for migraines?
A patient had headaches for 5 years Five years later the headaches turned into migraines. The migraines covered the whole head and face, and they came with vertigo almost every single time. It was pretty painful behind the eyes (pressure was normal). Weather changes, caffeine, fluorescent light, noises, etc., made it worse. Various medications and injections did not help. Two sessions of acupuncture later, the migraines were limited to the forehead and a little behind the eyes. Four sessions later, the pain behind her eyes was gone. She said, after the 8th session, she had not had any episode of headache. The only thing left was the eye pain, but it was a pain in the eyes, not the pain behind the eyes. When she came back for the 10th session, she said the migraines came back but were not as frequent as they used to be. Whenever she laughed, heard other people laugh, or heard other loud voices, she would have migraines for a few days. However, the vertigo never came back. Fifteen sessions later, the migraines, the vertigo, the pain behind the eyes, and the pain in the eyes were all resolved. Starting the 16th session, we moved on to the next condition, hot flash.
