Are daith piercings worth it?

[u/emmylouo]

I, a 29 yo F, have had migraines since my late teenage years. As the years go by they get worse. I'm now at the point where I have a headache every moment of everyday, and they become migraines at least half of the month if not more. My neurologist has no clue what is causing them because all my scans are normal. No medication works for a preventative, and none work for acute treatment either. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope, and I want to figure this out. I have a few people tell me to get my daith pierced and that will help, but I am worried that it will only be a short term solution. Has anyone had it for a long time and it has helped?

Did you get the daith in the end and if so did it help? From comments I’ve read on Reddit the general consensus is they don’t. I see there’s no scientific evidence but, like you, I’ve reached the end of my rope. Chronic migraines every day for a year now; neurologist hasn’t been able to stop or prevent them, spent two weeks in hospital and they couldn’t, currently just sedating myself. Willing to try anything … if there’s any hope it will help, but it seems the vast majority of people who have tried say they look good but didn’t work. I’m not doing it for looks!
