The evidence we have to support acupressure as a headache treatment is mostly anecdotal. There is some evidence that massage therapy, which stimulates pressure points as well as circulation, can reduce head pain and promote sinus drainage. A review of the literature suggests that drainage of the lymph nodes on the side of your neck can be performed manually, and may lead to head and ear pain relief.

When you have a headache, rubbing your temples might seem like an automatic response. According to acupressure practices, massaging the pressure points on your temples can promote blood circulation and help with headache symptoms. Try this remedy if you have a migraine, light sensitivity, or a headache caused by fatigue.
More than four hundred acupuncture points have been described, with the majority located on one of the twenty main cutaneous and subcutaneous meridians, pathways which run throughout the body and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) transport qi (氣). Twelve of these major meridians, commonly referred to as "the primary meridians", are bilateral and practitioners[who?] associate them with internal organs. The remaining eight meridians are designated[by whom?] as "extraordinary", and are also bilateral except for three, one that encircles the body near the waist, and two that run along the midline of the body. Only those two extraordinary meridians that run along the midline contain their own points, the remaining six comprise points from the aforementioned twelve primary meridians. There are also points that are not located on the fourteen major meridians but do lie in the complete nexus referred to as jing luo (經絡). Such outliers are often[specify] referred to as "extra points".[1]
There is no anatomical and physiological basis for acupuncture points and meridians.[2] In practice, acupuncture points are located[by whom?] by a combination of anatomical landmarks, palpation, and feedback from the patient.[1]
The eight extraordinary meridians (simplified Chinese: 奇经八脉; traditional Chinese: 奇經八脈; pinyin: qí jīng bā mài) are of pivotal importance in the study of Qigong (氣功; Chi kung), T'ai chi ch'uan (太極拳), and Chinese alchemy.[3] Though many are listed, only the Governing Vessel and the Conception Vessel meridians have points not associated with the previous 12 meridians.
The tables in this article follow the WHO numbering scheme to identify the acupuncture points of the main channels. For extra points the tables follow the numbering scheme found in A Manual of Acupuncture.[1]

Study schedule of enrollment, interventions, and assessments. The template is derived from the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) 2013 statement. The patients in the control group will finish the assessments and then receive compensatory acupuncture therapy at week 3 after the 2-week waiting period (week 1, week 2).

Locations of HT 7, SP 6 and auxiliary acupuncture points on one side of the body, with the same position on the other side symmetrically. Red point: HT 7; Blue piont: auxiliary acupuncture point 1; Green point: SP 6; Yellow point: auxiliary acupuncture point 2. The auxiliary acupuncture point 1 and 2 are 2mm above HT 7 and SP 6. Red and blue points are the acupoints used for EA-SM group. Green and yellow circles are the acupoints used for EA-SY group; the all circles are the acupoints used for EA-SS group
Acupuncture is most commonly used as a complementary therapy in patients with PD. Acupuncture has been reported to have possible therapeutic effectiveness for PD in clinical trials, as manifested by improvement in clinical symptoms such as tremor, a decrease in the dosage of antiparkinsonian drugs, a decrease in side effects, and improvements in daily life, such as improved sleep. Increasing evidence shows that acupuncture can alleviate the symptoms of PD, delay the progression of these symptoms, allow for a decrease in the dosage of antiparkinsonian drugs, and decrease side effects.[12]
Previous reviews carried out quality assessment only with ROB, and the number and quality of trials are too low to draw any firm conclusions on the effectiveness of acupuncture of PD.[12,13] Our study carried out quality assessment using the ROB and the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale rating. A study with a PEDro scale rating of 6 points or more is considered to be a high-quality study. Our study included 25 trials with an average score of 6 on the PEDro scale, thus we can draw firm conclusions regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture of PD.
The included trials showed favorable results for acupuncture plus conventional treatment compared with conventional treatment alone using only UPDRS II, UPDRS III, and the UPDRS total score. The present study has publication bias as an outcome measure of the UPDRS. UPDRS I, II, and IV were used in 2 trials, UPDRS III in 5 trials as the outcome measure of the effects of acupuncture on PD. Overall, the results of UPDRS III for the outcome measure have been mainly presented instead all of the results of UPDRS I through V. Future studies must present all data measured by UPDRS as supplementary data regardless of the results of the outcome measure for the reduction of publication bias. Future trials that assess the effectiveness of acupuncture for PD must overcome publication bias.
According to the meta-analysis of herbal medicine performed by Wang et al,[45] combined herbal medicine and conventional treatments have significantly better effects than conventional treatments on UPDRS I to IV and the total score. The studies that used total efficacy to compare the effects of combined TCM and conventional treatment versus conventional treatment alone found that combined treatment had a significant effect on PD symptoms, and the studies that used total efficacy to compare the effects of TCM versus placebo found that TCM had a significant effect on PD symptoms. Two studies used total efficacy to compare the effects of acupuncture versus conventional treatment alone showed a significant effect of acupuncture on PD symptoms, but the studies are too small to allow any firm conclusions to be drawn.[46] Furthermore, a study to compare the effects of herbal medicine plus acupuncture versus conventional treatment alone on PD symptoms would help in clinical treatment.[47] In fact, clinicians have proposed treatment with acupuncture without prescribing conventional medicines for the treatment of PD. Therefore, patients in an early stage of PD before the use of levodopa may be better served by treatment with acupuncture and herbal medicine rather than with conventional medicine.
We searched medical databases for clinical studies where people were randomly put into one of two or more treatment groups including acupuncture treatment for women with PCOS who were infrequently or never ovulating. Acupuncture was compared with pretend acupuncture (sham), no treatment, lifestyle changes (e.g. relaxation) and conventional treatment.
Our main interests were live birth rate, multiple pregnancy rate (for women who wanted to get pregnant) and ovulation rate (for women who wanted regular ovulation/symptom control). Due to the very low quality of the evidence and imprecise results, we were uncertain of the effect of acupuncture on live birth rate, multiple pregnancy rate and ovulation rate compared to sham acupuncture. For the same reasons, we were also uncertain of the effect of acupuncture on clinical pregnancy and miscarriage rate. Acupuncture may have improved restoration of regular menstrual periods. Acupuncture probably worsened side effects when compared to sham acupuncture.
Acupuncture is known to be a safe treatment. Transient adverse effects, such as skin erythema, bruising, bleeding and pain, are uncommon. Reports of significant complications are exceedingly rare. One observational study including more than 200,000 participants who received acupuncture for pain found an adverse event rate of 8.6% (Witt 2009). Another similar study estimated that the serious adverse event rate was between 0 and 1.1 per 10,000 treatments (MacPherson 2001).
Gerhard 1992 (in a case series) used ear acupuncture on 45 infertile women with dysfunction of ovulation and compared the treatment group with women receiving conventional medical treatment (e.g. dexamethasone, clomiphene citrate and gonadotropin). They concluded that the rate of return of menstruation was comparatively better in the ear acupuncture group despite no difference between the two groups on pregnancy rates.
Sham acupuncture is also known as placebo acupuncture and uses techniques that are not intended to stimulate known acupuncture points. Normally it is used for the control group in a RCTs of acupuncture. 2ff7e9595c
