Revealing the Neural Mechanism Underlying the Effects of Acupuncture on Migraine: A Systematic Review

2021 May 20   Frontiers in Neuroscience   Liu L, Tian T, Li X, Wang Y, Xu T, Ni X, et al.

The neural mechanism underlying the immediate effect of acupuncture analgesia remains unclear, and the neural mechanism of sustained acupuncture treatment for migraine might be related to the regulation of pain-related brain networks. Multi-center neuroimaging studies are needed to provide a better insight into the neural mechanism underlying the effect of acupuncture on migraine.
