摘要
A 70-year-old man presented with worsening migraines and was referred to a neurologist by their primary care doctor for further workup. Imaging and lab work were benign. The patient then underwent several trials of various first and second-line medications and anti-migraine devices to no avail. It was not until one session of battlefield acupuncture, where five needles were placed in the patient's ear for a few days, that the patient had a resolution of his symptoms.
