Alternative
Acupuncture
for Neuralgia
Acupuncture may provide supplementary pain relief for neuropathic and neuralgic pain through endogenous analgesic mechanisms.
How it works
Stimulates opioid, serotonin, and noradrenaline release in descending pain inhibitory pathways. May modulate central pain sensitisation contributing to chronic neuralgia.
What to watch for
Evidence varies by neuralgia type. Best evidence for trigeminal neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia as adjuncts to pharmacological treatment. Choose AHPRA-registered practitioner.
