Some people report that a daith piercing has helped alleviate their migraine symptoms, theorising that it works similarly to acupuncture by targeting a specific pressure point in the ear. However, scientific evidence to definitively support this claim is limited. Many choose a daith piercing for aesthetic reasons, enjoying the unique and subtle way it accents the ear, while any potential benefits regarding migraines are often considered an added bonus rather than the primary reason for the piercing.
