I don’t understand why I could vote for only one alternative therapy. I’ve tried most of them and more, with various results. What’s the point of choosing one?

I had a series of 6 sessions of acupuncture for migraine. Whilst it was relaxing at the time awful migraines were triggered soon after each session.

I got acupuncture from a practitioner trained in China and didn’t have a migraine for 3 years. Subsequent acupuncture was definitely helpful in reducing the frequency but was never again as effective.

The poll is great to see across many people. An even more valuable version would be the same selections, but which have been effective for people.

Marijuana has never helped my migraines. I recently tried the oxygen treatment. The claim that it does no harm is incorrect. Not only did I have daily migraines during the treatments, the migraines didn't stop for about a week afterwards. Also, I had some absolutely strange pain in my gums, and I had just had a dentist checkup, my teeth are fine. A few days after I stopped the oxygen treatment, my gums stopped hurting. Then I found a masseuse who really knows about migraines, and I had two full days of no migraines and plenty of energy. I will continue the massages.

I have found that medical marijuana provides the most complete and longest lasting relief obtainable and that includes the relief I receive from both opioid and non-opioid medications. Unfortunately, it is not legal in the state in which I reside wish for me and many chronic pain patients is simply cruel and unusual punishment.
