Medical Marijuana For Migraines in Louisiana

Patients With Migraines in Louisiana

Migraines affect 39 million men, women, and children in the U.S. Every person knows someone who suffers from migraines. More than 4 million adults experience chronic daily migraines, with at least 15 migraine days per month.

A study published by the National Center of Biotechnology Information showed that the frequency of migraine headaches was decreased with medical marijuana use.

The Center for Biosimilars published a report on a study focused on how prolonged medical cannabis use reduces migraine frequency. Medical marijuana use results in a long-term reduction of migraine frequency and is associated with less disability and lower antimigraine medication intake.

An Alternative from Opioids: Medical Marijuana

Medical marijuana is an effective alternative treatment for intense headaches. Sir William Osler, considered by many as the father of modern medicine, wrote that cannabis was “probably the most satisfactory remedy” for migraines.

Although further studies are needed to determine the cannabis forms and dosages that are most effective at managing the pain caused by migraine, a recent study published in January 2021 has provided insight that patients suffering from migraine experience a high level of relief when using medical marijuana.

The pain-relieving effects of medical marijuana are primarily caused by THC agonist activity on binding CB1, involved in pain processing in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Healthline reported that for migraine prevention, a 200 mg daily oral dose of combined tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) was as effective as a 25 mg daily dose of amitriptyline (chlordiazepoxide), a common migraine medication.

As medical marijuana becomes legal across the United States, more patients suffering from migraines are turning to cannabis as an alternative medication. Many who have tried it say that medical marijuana works better in relieving the pain caused by migraines compared to prescription medicine.

Cynthia B.

They are a great help to me. the pain I feel on a everyday basis can become overwhelming but with the help of Medicis I’ve been up walking and not some much on edge with the pain. They do help those who really are in need. The pain pills my docs gave written out for me was all wrong. Made me sick to my stomach. They had side effects like depression and anxiety along a slew of others. I’m better off with the edibles.
