Medical Cannabis helps with migraines
103 study participants reported that the psychoactive cannabis has helped reduce the number of monthly migraine attacks. The average number of migraines was reduced from 10.4 to 4.6 per month.
Medical Cannabis helps people who suffer from migraines. This is the conclusion reached by researchers from the University of Colorado.
They examined data on the state of 121 patients with migraine, which was recommended by the reception of medical cannabis. Information was collected between January 2010 on September 2014.
103 study participants reported that the psychoactive cannabis has helped reduce the number of monthly migraine attacks. In 15 of them the frequency of migraine has remained the same, while the three men began to develop migraines more often. The average number of migraines was reduced from 10.4 to 4.6 per month.
Laura Borgelt explained that patients use medical marijuana in various forms. Inhaled better cope with the acute migraine attack, and hemp for oral administration can prevent the occurrence of headaches.
The authors note that the results confirm the need to conduct a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, which will be preceded by a top washout period. Two thirds of the participants in this experiment had already had experience with psychoactive hemp or previously used it just before the start of the study.
