Are Daith piercings an effective treatment for migraines and anxiety?

If you had asked me this question 24 hours ago I would look at you in a dazed and confused fashion.

But the subject has been brought up twice yesterday in two of the Facebook pages we run. On one page Kim asked “Has anyone tried a daith piercing for migraines? Has it helped?”

It turns out that a Daith piercing is getting your ear pierced through the ear’s innermost cartilage fold also called the crus of the helix. You know the bobbly bit.

Anyhow it seems that some people are claiming it as a treatment for migraines. You can read an article which was posted on one of our pages here.

In fact you can see a picture of a Daith Piercing via the link.

Anyhow it does seem to me to be a bit of a far fetched claim. It also occurred on the best people to ask were you. You know the wisdom of crowds and all that!

So I’ve set up a quick poll to find out. so please feel free to take part even if you have not had the piercing.
