Medical Cannabis for Migraines – What the Latest Study Shows
A recent study looked at how cannabis can help with migraines. It found that a mix of THC and CBD worked best to reduce how often and how badly people got migraines. The study included hundreds of people using cannabis to manage their migraines, and many reported feeling better with fewer and shorter attacks.
However, it’s important to remember that every patient’s experience is different. What works well for one person might not be the best option for another. Treatment plans, including the balance of THC and CBD, should always be tailored by healthcare professionals to fit each individual’s unique needs. Since migraines affect so many people worldwide, this research could help doctors offer more personalized cannabis-based treatments in the future.
