Migraines

Migraines are a common neurological condition that is characterised by a severe headache (often on one side), sensitivity to light or sound, and fatigue. Over 6 million people in the UK suffer from migraines. There are over 190,000 migraine attacks per day in the UK, so imagine how much disruption to home and work life this health issue causes. More women than men develop this complex neurological condition. 

You might be surprised to find out that 190,000 migraine attacks happen in the UK every day. With such massive numbers, the need for new treatment options to help complement conventional pharmaceuticals is obvious, especially when many of these medications come with some pretty heavy side effects.

Medical cannabis therapy may well be a viable option for many migraine patients. For sufferers who have tried a range of the conventional medication options available, medicinal cannabis may be a last resort for potential relief. Medicinal cannabis has been shown to offer an extremely favourable safety profile, and the current and ongoing research is pointing to it being a potentially effective treatment option for a range of health concerns, migraines included.
