Summary
This study tested whether injecting a small amount of lidocaine (a numbing medicine) into a specific acupoint on the neck (GB20) can safely reduce migraine attacks. Thirty adults with migraines received either weekly lidocaine injections for four weeks or a daily propranolol pill (a standard migraine preventive). Researchers tracked headache frequency, duration, pain intensity, and disability over two months to see which approach worked better.
