ABSTRACT

Introduction: acupuncture is an alternative therapy for migraine headache.
Objective: to compare the effectiveness of acupuncture treatment with the drug and to know the evolution changes when using acupuncture.
Method: a quasi-experimental study in 240 patients with migraine at Traditional and Natural Medicine Consultation at "Lucia Iñiguez" Surgical Clinical Hospital, in Holguín, from January 2010 to December 2013 was carried out. The sample was divided into two groups: the first group was treated with the use of acupuncture and the other one with the use of drug treatment. The χ2 test was used to identify association between the patients' good evolution and the use of acupuncture.
Results: considering the symptom relief, the evolution was good in the group with acupuncture therapy (57.5%) comparing with the control group (25%). The pain intensity was good in 55% in the group with acupuncture treatment against 32.5% in the control group, showing a significant association between good patient outcomes and the application of acupuncture treatment, which was also showed in the decrease headache days and the quality of life improvement in patients.
Conclusions: the use of acupuncture was an effective therapy in the management of these patients.
