Medical Cannabis: A Review of its Therapeutic Potential in the Treatment of Migraine
Published: 2024-09-13

Abstract

Migraine is a common episodic headache disorder. Currently, available medications are effective with moderate to severe adverse effects. Therefore, there is still a need to explore new therapeutic strategies to identify effective and safer drugs with minimal adverse effects.

This review explores the biochemical evidence of changes in the endocannabinoid system in migraine and examines cannabis treatments in both preclinical and clinical studies. However, further studies are still needed to determine the potential use of medical cannabis in the treatment of migraines.
