Studies out of Isreal, Italy, Spain, China, Germany and other European countries have found that chemical compounds found in cannabis can alleviate migraine symptoms in some people.
The effects of cannabinoids on the central nervous system suggest that marijuana may be a therapeutic alternative for treating migraines and bad headaches, according to a study out of Italy.
Genetics may also play a role, the researchers said, suggesting that some kind of genetic “deficiency” may be at play.
“Endocannabinoids in chronic migraine. Findings suggest a system failure” was published in the medical journal “Neuropsychopharmacology in 2017.
