prevention of frequent or uncontrolled migraine attacks.Migraine headaches can be extremely painful and debilitating, which can last for hours to several days. Migraine symptoms often include nausea, vomiting and sensitivity to light and sound. 
Evidence of Benefits (What's this?)

falls under Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and it is a technique
where hair thin needles are inserted into specific points on the skin.
