What are the acupuncture points for migraines?

Acupuncture points for the treatment of migraine are mainly selected from the Shaoyang bile meridian points on the side of the head in conjunction with the distal points of the meridian limbs for treatment. Migraine is a kind of headache, but it is different from headache in that it has a longer duration of illness and the pain is mainly concentrated in the side of the head, which is aggravated by exertion. In the treatment, the main choice is the foot Shaoyang bile meridian points on the side of the head and the points on the distal limbs of the meridian. The prescriptions for the acupoints were: Sizhukong, Pupil’s foot, Sun, Rate Valley, Kakusun, Fengchi, Baihui, Si Shencong, and Taichong, Hegu, and Waiguan. These points belong to the Sun meridian of the hands and feet, and are mainly located on the side of the head, which can effectively regulate the meridian qi and qi-blood in the side of the head to relieve pain, and at the same time help to relieve pain by coordinating qi and blood throughout the whole body in conjunction with the acupuncture points in the limb area. Acupuncture treatment requires specialized training, and it is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital to be treated by an acupuncturist, rather than blindly needling on their own to avoid causing damage to the organism.
