Main Results Eleven trials with a total of 2,317 patients (median: 62; range: 10–1,265) were included. Two trials enrolled only patients with episodic tension-type headache, 2 only patients with chronic tension-type headache, and 7 both forms. Question Is acupuncture (a) more effective than no prophylactic treatment/routine care only, (b) more effective than ‘sham’ (placebo) acupuncture or (c) as effective as other interventions in reducing the frequency of headaches in patients with tension-type headache?
