In the UK, Acupuncturists can train for any length of time up to three or four years, depending on the modality they are training in.

Acupuncture for Tension Headaches Trial
Tension headaches typically are those that involve the Tai-Yang area of the head (the temples). When they occur for at least 50% of the month then they are considered Chronic, and they can be due to an overload of stress at work, at home, or in other situations.
As the headaches last for around half of the sufferers time, pain medications are often less effective than they would like, and not really an option for some, especially as opioids are not good for your health and other painkillers often have unwanted side effects.
Ghosts, Rituals, Madness & Acupuncture
Having been an acupuncture teacher for many years, I have observed how interested and excited students get when they learn that there are such things as “Ghost Points”. It suggests that we may be able to go beyond the body and treat things in past lives or other domains. Or to chase ghosts of the past out of our psyche. But this excitement usually fades into mild disappointment when they find that these points are not used much or very well understood. In his book “The Clinical Practice of Chinese Medicine” Lonny Jarrett says that he has never found the ghost points effective despite their having very exciting names, such as “Ghost Heart” and “Ghost Path”.
