As Tension-type headache is quite prevalent, it is important to look for new treatment modalities which are safe, easy to apply and effective. Over the last decade, glucose 5% injections have received more attention among clinicians worldwide. Unfortunately, no large randomized clinical trials have confirmed their effectiveness so far. This article invites the medical community for further basic-science and clinical studies to clarify the potential benefits of regional glucose 5% injections for tension-type headache. The goal of introducing the term Glucopuncture is to raise awareness among physicians and their patients of the interesting cost-benefits ratio of regional glucose 5% injections. Glucopuncture is especially interesting in remote areas where modern diagnostic and therapeutic facilities are not available to the majority of the local population.
