STROKE, MIGRAINES
This 19-year-long retrospective study showed that migraineurs who received acupuncture treatment had significantly lower stroke risks, after adjustment for covariates, compared with migraineurs who did not receive acupuncture treatment. These findings support the benefit of using appropriate acupuncture treatment in patients with migraines to prevent long-term stroke risk. These results may help inform clinicians and public health policymakers.
