Methods： Forty cases were randomly allocated to a treatment group and a control group, 20 cases in each group. Cases in the treatment group were treated with acupuncture, while cases in the control group were treated with oral Sibelium. After that, the changes of cerebral blood flow were observed before and after treatment. Results： There was significant difference in clinical efficacies between two groups （P〈0.05）. There were also significant differences in arterial blood flow velocities of before and after treatment. Acupuncture can produce substantial differences （P〈0.05） in blood flow velocities of vertebral artery （VA）, middle cerebral artery （MCA） and anterior cerebral artery （ACA） during an increased flow rate. It can also produce statistical differences in blood flow velocities of VA during a decreased flow rate （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： Acupuncture can effectively alleviate the pain of migraine sufferers and exert a two-way regulation on the cerebral blood flow.展开更多
