This course is an in-depth, evidence-informed course designed to help acupuncturists confidently assess, understand, and treat migraine disorders using both modern neuroscience and acupuncture-based frameworks.<\/p>\n
Migraines are not simply headaches\u2014they are complex neurovascular and neuroinflammatory events with distinct phases, subtypes, and systemic implications. This course begins by clarifying migraine diagnosis and differentiating migraines from other headache disorders, then walks through the four phases of migraine, including the underlying mechanisms of cortical spreading depression and central sensitization.<\/p>\n
Participants will explore the pathophysiology of migraine. Special attention is given to migraine subtypes such as hemiplegic, retinal, vestibular, and abdominal migraines, along with migraines as a risk factor for other conditions. <\/p>\n
The course covers conventional migraine medications, and addresses the often-overlooked issue of medication overuse (rebound) headaches. The use of acupuncture in a severe case of medication overuse headache is reviewed. <\/p>\n
Migraine assessment tools and neurological examination with examples are provided. <\/p>\n
Finally, the course bridges theory into practice with a deep dive into acupuncture research, treatment protocols, supported by real-world case studies. By the end of this course, acupuncturists will have a modern, clinically relevant framework for treating migraines safely, effectively, and with greater confidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
