A type of neurological disorder, intracranial hypertension is a condition where the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) inside the skull exceeds the normal range. The patient, in this case feels incessant pain in the head. This disease was also called Pseudotumor Cerebri and Benign Intracranial Hypertension.

Even though there are many sufferers of this disease around the globe, there is only one non-profit organization dedicated to this disorder known as the Intracranial Hypertension Research Foundation. This organization deals with every aspect of chronic cases of intracranial hypertension right from its clinical research to providing education, encouragement and assistance to the sufferers and also to those related to them.

Now acupuncture is a method applied for the treatment of intracranial hypertension. When the energy gets trapped in the sufferers’ meridians, the person experiences intracranial hypertension. To counter this condition, needles are put into the meridian lines along some set points to restore balance energy flow into the body. This happens because those needles release endorphins which are pain relievers, in turn enhance the neurotransmitters’ release and stimulates the autonomic nervous system.

The practitioners of this acupuncture treatment have to undergo a special acupuncture-training course. This method can also be carried out without the needles and is used according to the conditions.

However, acupuncture is not only used to treat intracranial hypertension, but also a host of other anomalies like headache, neck pain, migraine, azoospermia, cervical spondylitis, bed-wetting problems in children, deafness, arthritis, earache, laryngitis, schizophrenia and in disorders of skin like acne, hair fall and psoriasis. Also, electrification of these needles helps in curing alcoholism, drug addiction and smoking. It also helps in better blood circulation in the body which helps in healing intracranial hypertension.
