Yes — medication overuse headache, sometimes called rebound headache, is a common problem for people who rely on triptans, NSAIDs, or other acute medications more than 10 days per month. Acupuncture is an effective strategy for breaking this cycle, offering pain relief and prevention through mechanisms that don't create dependency or tolerance. Even for patients not currently in a rebound cycle, acupuncture offers a path toward reducing total medication burden — a goal many headache patients share.
