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 whether laser acupuncture can help prevent chronic migraines. Laser acupuncture uses low-level laser light applied to traditional acupuncture points on your body—without any needles. The research team will track whether this treatment reduces the number of migraine days you experience and will also look at how it may affect your brain function and other symptoms.
Chronic migraines are debilitating and many people don't get enough relief from current medications alone. This treatment offers a needle-free option that may help prevent migraines by working with your body's natural systems, and researchers want to understand how well it works and for whom it works best.

You would keep a headache diary for 4 weeks before treatment begins. Then you'll be randomly assigned to receive either active laser acupuncture or sham treatment (which looks the same but doesn't deliver therapeutic light). You'll receive 8 treatment sessions over 4 weeks, then complete questionnaires and assessments monthly for up to 12 months. You'll also answer detailed questions about your symptoms, have your tongue examined and pulse checked (traditional Chinese medicine assessments), and continue tracking your migraines in a diary.
