Fire Needling Plus Filiform Needling for Chronic Migraine With Comorbid Tension-Type Headache

2026年6月4日 更新者：Huilin Liu、Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Clinical Research on Fire Needling Combined With Filiform Needling for Chronic Migraine With Comorbid Tension-type Headache

The investigators conducted a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical study to learn whether fire needling combined with filiform needling applied to pericranial muscle tenderness areas can effectively treat chronic migraine with comorbid tension-type headache. The study will also evaluate the safety and long-term efficacy of this therapy. Its main target questions include:

  1. Can fire needling significantly reduce the number of headache days per month?
  2. What is the effect of this therapy on headache intensity, emotional symptoms, and quality of life? The investigators will compare "fire needling at pericranial tender points plus conventional filiform needling" versus "conventional filiform needling alone" to verify whether the key technique of fire needling plus conventional filiform needling provides unique additive value.

Participants will:

  1. Receive treatment twice per week for 8 weeks (either in the experimental group or the control group)，attend a follow-up visit at week 24 after enrollment
  2. Keep a headache diary (recording headache frequency, pain intensity, duration, associated symptoms, etc.)
  3. Regularly complete assessments of emotional status, quality of life, and number of pericranial tender points

詳細な説明

Based on international research progress and our preliminary findings, our team proposes that headache episodes in chronic migraine often present with clinical features of tension-type headache. Patients commonly exhibit widespread pericranial muscle tenderness. Integrating the trigemino-cervical complex (TCC) pathway theory and the long-term foundation of acupuncture treatment for tension-type headache, the investigators propose that chronic migraine primarily develops from the comorbidity of migraine and tension-type headache, with pericranial muscle tenderness being a key pathogenic factor and therapeutic target. Fire-needle pinpointing of tender points in pericranial muscles is a key technique for achieving favorable outcomes.

This multicenter randomized controlled trial will enroll 88 patients with chronic migraine comorbid with tension-type headache. They will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group or the control group via a central randomization system. The experimental group will receive "fire-needle pinpointing of pericranial tender points plus conventional filiform needle acupuncture," while the control group will receive "conventional filiform needle acupuncture" only. Treatment will be administered twice weekly for 8 weeks, with a follow-up period of 24 weeks.

The study will evaluate clinical efficacy and safety by comparing the two groups in terms of headache days, pain intensity, duration, associated symptoms, emotional status, quality of life, number of pericranial tender points, and safety indicators before and after treatment and at the end of the follow-up period. The aim is to confirm that "pericranial muscle tender areas are the key therapeutic target for chronic migraine comorbid with tension-type headache" and that "fire-needle pinpointing is the key technique for this target." The primary outcome will be the internationally recognized headache frequency. Secondary outcomes will include headache intensity, headache-related emotional symptoms, and health-related quality of life. Long-term follow-up will assess sustained effects, with the goal of providing an acupuncture-based treatment strategy to significantly improve the clinical efficacy for chronic migraine.

Baseline, at week 8 of treatment
Pericranial muscle tender area tenderness threshold
時間枠：Baseline, at week 8 of treatment
The subject is instructed to relax naturally and sit on a chair with a backrest. The researcher uses an electronic pressure meter (SHSCYQ ZMF-50) to perform standardized assessment and recording of the tender points identified through palpation. A 1 cm² circular probe of the device is placed perpendicularly over the palpated tender point and pressed evenly into the skin at a rate of 0.5 N/s. The subject presses a feedback button as soon as pain is felt, and the pressure value displayed at that moment is recorded. Each tender point is measured three times, with an interval of 10 to 15 seconds between measurements. The average of the three values is calculated as the pressure pain threshold for that tender point.
