Evidently, in the recent past, there has been a great upshot in the population who desire to get punctured in various parts of the body for aesthetic reasons. Most notably has been the daith. The body piercing Toronto has not been left behind in this wave. There are also claims in that are coming up that the daith could treat the migraines. Already seeing some coincidence?

It would be safe for anyone to assume that after so many years of expansion in the industry that at least one person from the crowd would have come out with a personal confession saying something like, You know friend, I have been suffering from migraines until recently. The puncturing must have fixed me!. That has never come up until now.

This phenomenon can be included in the textbook example confirmation of bias. Such a healthy dose of a placebo effect. A person gets a daith done and then What a shock! The migraines are gone. Cured. That is at least until the full storm of the attack comes right back again.

The circumstantial bias comes into play in this situation entirely. The piercer will always bring forward the hypotheses that are considered in this case to new clients. According to him the people who have the migraine condition received this magical healing when they got the daith puncturing. At least that is what they hear. They will then relay the similar information to the clients. However, the considerations for those who did not report back the healing. Considerations will also not be made to customers as some of them do not have a medical record proving they suffer from the condition. Its just in their mind.

On that note, it is clear that the standard procedure laid for conducting an experiment is not just for the sake. First, a control population should be set aside. Then having a placebo is also an important factor for consideration. Those who will be given the task to analyze the data should not be aware of the population and the category which they fall in. From that, a proper result can be obtained.

It is still important to know that nobody can be blamed for being excited about this. It is nobodys fault that science reporting is done wrong these days. Thanks to the bad science. The people who are writing about the health science more so in this issue, are getting it all wrong. Going through a recently published book called the bad science can enlighten one on the same.

Another plausible explanation is that the people who release such claims are not even aware of the migraine condition they are talking about. To such people, their ignorance could be leading them to think that when a person complains about a migraine is any another headache caused due to self-inflicted stress. They should be pitied. This condition is dangerous.

Therefore, the people spreading these unfound claims should realize how much power they wield over these desperate populations. Such people need to be well protected from the rigorous skeptical journalism. Suggesting such things like they can be able to treat a migraine is totally misleading and is playing with their emotion. For all piercers, it is of utmost importance to approach such issues with the highest ethical standards. And for those writing blogs and articles, they should refrain from writing articles such as this.
