This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing acupuncture as a treatment for people with chronic headaches and migraines. Researchers will place thin needles at specific points on your body and use a special pulse-measuring device to track how your body responds before and after treatment. The goal is to see whether acupuncture can improve how you feel and reduce your headache symptoms.
Many people suffer from frequent, painful headaches that interfere with daily life, and current treatments don't work well for everyone. Researchers want to understand whether acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, can safely and effectively reduce headache pain and improve quality of life for these patients.

You will visit Chang Gung Memorial Hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in Taoyuan twice a week for two weeks. Each visit lasts about 70-80 minutes and includes a 20-minute pulse measurement before treatment, acupuncture at 4-6 specific points on your body, and another 20-minute pulse measurement afterward. Half of participants will receive real acupuncture first, then sham (fake) acupuncture after a 2-week break; the other half will experience them in the opposite order. You'll also complete questionnaires about your symptoms and quality of life.
