Teenager. On Elavil For Migraine Headache. Will Tragus Piercing Control Migraine?

I take Elavil every night to control migraine headaches. I started having them close to a year ago and my doctor immediately put me on the Elavil. While I do have relief from the migraines, I am only 17 and do not want to take a nightly medication this early in life. I've heard that getting a tragus piercing controls migraines. Is this something I should look into, or is it a myth?
