Migraine is a disease that everyone knows the name of. For a patient with migraine, pain has become a way of life.
In a scientific study conducted by Istanbul Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Faculty Member Prof. Dr. Sabahattin SAİP, the frequency of migraine in our country was found to be 16.7%.
This study also showed that the frequency of occurrence in women is twice as high as in men.
As with every disease; In migraine, patients experience this disease according to their own bodies and physiology. This means: While there is only one definition of migraine disease in medical science; There are as many types of migraine as there are migraine patients in the world. For this reason, treatments must be planned and applied specifically for the patient's body and physiology.
Since migraine is a chronic disease, pain information, which is the leading symptom of the disease, is well recorded in the brain. Since this recorded information exists in the brain, externally administered painkillers do not have a permanent effect, and thus, each attack causes the migraine to take root further.
In an acupuncture treatment of at least ten sessions to be applied twice a week, the pain information recorded in the cerebral cortex areas is first erased with the neuronal (nervous) stimulation given through needles. In subsequent sessions, pain-relieving (analgesic) information is loaded into the brain.
Patients must be patient in acupuncture treatment. Because; It requires a period of time to deliver healing neuronal stimulation to the brain, which has suffered pain for years and recorded this pain information very strongly in its cortex, and to obtain positive clinical results in return.

I would like to remind you once again that you should definitely research and question the doctor you are going to treat, no matter what branch of medicine they are.
