Abstract in brief

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether acupuncture is effective and safe for treating and preventing migraines without aura (MWoA).
It analyzed data from 14 randomized controlled trials involving 1,155 participants and found that acupuncture significantly reduces the frequency of migraines compared to medication, with fewer migraine days.
The study concluded that acupuncture could be a beneficial and safe alternative for managing MWoA, showing better results in decreasing migraine frequency and days than conventional treatments.]
