It also serves as a tool for migraine sufferers seeking guidance about Daith piercing (DP) as a potential migraine treatment; however, shared and disseminated video content is rarely regulated and does not follow evidence\u2010based medicine. This study aims to investigate the content, quality, and reliability of YouTube videos on DP for the treatment of migraine.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>YouTube videos were systematically searched from the video portal inception until 17th January 2024. \u201cDaith piercing\u201d AND \u201cmigraine\u201d were the applied search terms.
