Thanks for those that reply
I had acupuncture treatments for awhile. I went weekly and it seemed to keep the TN from escalating, but did not decrease the pain. As soon as I missed a week of acupuncture, the pain would escalate. So for me acupuncture did not do much. I had an MVD 4 years ago and have been pain and medication free since then.
