Investigators are conducting a study to compare three different types of acupuncture treatments. Each participant will be carefully evaluated to meet the requirements for participation. Before joining, each participant will have a conversation with investigators to explain the study and answer any questions.
Participants will be randomly placed into one of three groups:
Traditional Acupuncture - standard acupuncture treatment Electroacupuncture - standard acupuncture combined with gentle electrical stimulation.
Laser Acupuncture - standard acupuncture combined with acupuncture using a low-level laser instead of needles.
After the treatment, Investigators will check in with participants again after 1 and 3 months to see how they are feeling and whether the effects have lasted.Participation is voluntary, with no financial compensation, and care will not be affected by the decision to participate.
Outcomes will be assessed using questionnaires before treatment and for three months afterward, measuring migraine days, pain intensity, medication use, headache frequency, and satisfaction of participants. Blood samples will be collected at baseline, after treatment, and three months later to analyze migraine-related biomarkers. Results will be statistically evaluated. Investigators expect acupuncture to reduce headache severity and medication use.
So far, there has been no direct comparison of these three methods. Investigators want to find out:
Which method works best. How long the benefits last. Whether participants need repeat treatments.
