Migraine
A migraine is a condition that often causes painful headaches. A migraine can feel like a throbbing headache, usually on one side of the head. Other symptoms include feeling sick and sensitivity to light. You can ease symptoms of a migraine with painkillers and medicines to stop you feeling sick. Lying down in a dark room may also help. Migraines can be triggered by periods of stress, tiredness and certain foods or drinks. As a migraine medical cannabis treatment clinic UK, Zerenia Clinic supports many patients in successfully improving their symptoms and quality of life with a migraine medical cannabis prescription UK.

There’s no cure for migraines, but several treatments are available to help reduce the symptoms. These include:
- painkillers
- triptans
- anti-emetics
During an attack, many people find that sleeping or lying in a darkened room can also help. www.nhs.org
Cannabis is a flowering plant with various strains, which contain different concentrations of hundreds of chemical compounds known as cannabinoids. Among these compounds are CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the latter of which is psychoactive.
These cannabinoids have been the subject of increasing interest for decades now, due to their potential to relieve chronic pain. Where other treatments have been ineffective for chronic migraines, cannabinoids could not only reduce acute pain but possibly work as a preventative treatment to reduce the frequency of migraines.
2020 – A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study explored the use of phytocannabinoids among subgroups of migraineurs. Those who responded to medical cannabis treatment reported lower pain and disability scores and higher quality sleep scores than non-responders. Overall, medical cannabis reduced long-term migraine frequency in over 60% of patients.
2020 – A study on the effectiveness of cannabis flower in treating headaches used data from the Releaf cannabis-tracking app to determine symptom relief. The majority of users experienced relief within 2 hours, with symptom intensity reducing by 3.3 points on a scale of 0-10. Strains with 10% THC or higher were most effective for women and younger people with headaches.
