Tension headache can be onerous to treat effectively. However acupuncture may give some relief, say researchers in Munich, Germany. They checked out a group of 270 patients, providing them either ancient Chinese acupuncture, minimal acupuncture or no treatment.
Those on ancient acupuncture had a fall in days with headache – seven days less over the four weeks following treatment. Those having minimal acupuncture, where needles were only inserted superficially into the skin, received nearly as a lot of profit, however. The findings recommend that acupuncture will be at least as sensible as customary treatment for relief of tension headache. The benefit of minimal acupuncture, where true acupuncture points aren't really treated, does seem to lift some questions as to how acupuncture extremely works.
