Author: Title of the thesis: Bc. Simona Židlíková Effect of acupressure in the treatment of migraine Aims: The aim is to assess the effect of acupressure in the treatment of female migraineurs who are taking triptan medicine. Methods: Migraineurs who are taking triptan medicine took part in the experiment. A total of 20 test subjects participated in the research. The research sample was randomly divided into experimental and control groups of ten participants each. Acupressure was used as a therapeutic method in the experimental group. A total of 8 therapeutic units were performed over the period of 4 weeks. There were three main factors, that were evaluated - the number of migraine attacks and how many times use of acute analgesics was needed in the last 4 weeks before the start of the intervention and during the 4-week acupressure intervention. The third factor was a quality of life - the input and output examination was performed using the Migraine Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 2.1, which assesses the impact of migraine on an individual's quality of life. Migraineurs in the control group were only using triptan medicine and did not undergo any other therapy. This group recorded the number of migraine attacks and the frequency of use of acute analgesics in the same way as the...
