If this is because of the piercing doig some vagus nerve stimulation, do you think a simple, small clip or something placed in the right position could help as well?

That I do not know.

It's worth trying but the positioning would be tricky.

All I know is as I have posted - the daith piercing stopped the pain.

Thanks anyway, I'm definitely looking into this.

Suffering from the occasional migraine myself (3-4x year) it seems a bit too drastic for myself... but my wife has very frequent migraines, anything that could possibly help is worth investigating

I got a new puppy - Dogue de Bordeaux - some months ago and she was/is on a raw food diet, so I had to get that delivered frozen.

Couple of deliveries in and I got chatting to the guy bringing the food. He mentioned he had headaches constantly. I told him about the daith.

Days later he messaged me - he'd got a daith after we talked and today, for the first time in 10+ years he woke in no pain, no need to take codeine.

Just go to a proper piercing place, not some "Claire's" type place.
