ConclusionAlthough this study had limited power with a small sample size, the large effect size resulted in identifiable changes and can serve as a basis for estimating effect sizes for future studies. Although the exact physiologic etiology of these changes is unknown, this study ultimately found what it sought out to explore: an effective, quick, and portable means of reducing pain and emotional tension. Not only can migraineurs use this technique in any setting, but they can use it as an alternative to pharmaceuticals or as an additive treatment while waiting for migraine medicine to take effect. With these implications, it is worthwhile to continue pursuing future research in this area.
