Abstract
Objective
To determine the analgesic effect of acupuncture in outpatients with headache.
Material and methods
A longitudinal, descriptive study of clinical cases of patients who attended a private acupuncture clinic was carried out. Specific points of traditional Chinese acupuncture were used.
Participants
Sixty-three patients with headache were evaluated between men and women who met the study inclusion criteria.
Results
At the end of the 2-week treatment, complete remission of pain was obtained in 77.7% of patients, while in 8% there was no improvement.
Conclusions
Chinese classical acupuncture has been shown to be effective for the treatment of headache in the control of its main symptoms such as pain. Despite this, in the present study about a quarter of the patients did not achieve total cure, although they did achieve symptom relief.
