[Analysis of the results of international demand survey on <i>Guideline for Clinical Practice of Acupuncture-Moxibustion: Migraine</i>].

The survey is conducted prior to the development of international standard, <i>Guideline for Clinical Practice of Acupuncture</i>-<i>Moxibustion: Migraine</i> (<i>Guideline</i>) to determine the international demand. The survey includes 5 aspects, i.e. the application status of acupuncture and moxibustion abroad and the demand for the development of international standards, the priority of diseases developed by international standards, the necessity of the transformation of international standards from domestic standards, the key clinical problems to be solved by international standards, and the correlation between professional level and demand intention. The survey results show that the international demand of the <i>Guideline</i> is definite. Regarding the application range of acupuncture-moxibustion and the key clinical questions, the special consideration should be taken to the differences in the demands of the practitioners from different countries during the development of standard.
