Daith piercing: Revisited from the perspective of auricular acupuncture systems. A narrative review

CONCLUSION: The available literature, combined with the reported recurrence of pain as well as the associated side effects of daith piercing, indicate that current evidence does not support daith piercing for the treatment of migraine, tension-type headaches, or other headache disorders.PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: This paper summarizes what we know about Daith piercing (DP) for chronic migraine and tension-type headache and discusses how DP might work. Current evidence does not support DP as an effective treatment of chronic migraine and tension-type headache. These findings might assist clinicians in discussing this subject with patients as well as guide future research.PMID:38284213 | DOI:10.1111/head.14672
