“In the U.S., head pain caused due to migraines is the fifth-leading cause of emergency room visits.”

“Some migraine studies also estimate that 12 per cent of adults in the U.S. population have severe headaches due to migraine, and 4 million have chronic head pain due to it.”

Headaches caused due to migraines can be profoundly debilitating, and often experience additional troubling symptoms such as nausea and over-sensitization to light. Fortunately, researchers and recent studies have found that medical marijuana and its product such as CBD oil, topical, capsules can be an effective treatment for those suffering from headaches. 

A review published in the June 2019 issue of Current Opinion in Neurology suggests that “CBD may have a role to play in alleviating the pain associated with headaches caused due to migraines. CBD can affect the function and activity of signalling pathways by targeting the serotonin 1A and TRPV1 receptors that play a role in pain control.”

A review published in the July 2016 issue of Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research, proposed the idea that “migraines may be caused, in part, by a deficiency in the ECS, which could result in an increased sensitivity to pain and stimuli. The increased sensitivity to light and noise that often accompanies migraines suggests a homeostatic imbalance in the body that a normally functioning endocannabinoid system tends to correct.”

If you are suffering from a consistent headache and want to consider Cannabis for your medication, you can visit weed dispensaries, Los Angeles, to start with your therapy.
