Short-Term Effects of Acupuncture on Balance, and Quality of Life in Women With Migraine: A Pilot Study
Abstract
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the short-term effects of acupuncture on migraine-related pain, postural balance, and quality of life in women with migraine.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does acupuncture reduce migraine pain intensity? Does acupuncture improve balance and postural stability in women with migraine? Does acupuncture improve quality of life in women with migraine? This study does not include a comparison group.
Participants will:
Receive six standardized acupuncture sessions over two weeks (three sessions per week).
Complete questionnaires on pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS) and quality of life (SF-36).
Undergo stabilometric balance testing before and after the acupuncture program.
Conditions: Migraine.
Primary outcome: Change in migraine pain intensity measured by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Enrollment: 12 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 12 participants or records.
