MRI reveals Acupuncture's brain impact in migraine sufferers
NCT ID NCT04157192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how acupuncture affects the brain in people with migraine without aura. Forty adults received either real acupuncture or a sham (fake) version, and their brains were scanned with MRI before and after treatment. The goal was to see if real acupuncture causes different brain changes than the placebo, helping explain how it might reduce migraine attacks.
