Abstract: In a clinical controlled study 63 patients with resistant migraine have been treated with three different therapies. The effectivity of acupuncture and electropuncture (12 treatments, once a week) was compared with a treatment by drugs during the period of one year (Propranolol 75-150 mg/day). Comparing the results before and after the acupuncture-treatment showed a significant decrease of the duration and intensity of migraine, controlled by visual analogue scale, decrease of dosage for analgetica, duration of side-effects and symptoms. The medicamentous migraine prophylaxis during one year was in all criteria mentioned above significantly less effective than acupuncture.
