Neural Connectivity Patterns Predict Acupuncture Response in Migraine: A Step Toward Personalized Pain Management

This randomized clinical trial demonstrates that real acupuncture significantly reduces migraine frequency and disability compared to sham acupuncture. Crucially, baseline brain connectivity patterns within the default mode and subcortical networks can predict individual treatment responses, offering a potential biomarker for personalized neuromodulatory therapy.
