Have you ever thought about taking CBD oil for migraines?
Migraines are a common and very unpleasant headache disorder. In Germany, around 14.8% of women and 6% of men are definitely affected by migraines. Why women suffer from migraines more often than men is not yet fully understood. In the following article, we would like to explain the symptoms of migraines and why CBD could potentially be an alternative to traditional painkillers in the treatment of migraines in the future.
Characteristics of migraine
Migraines are mainly characterized by the fact that they occur in the form of attacks that can last between 4 and 72 hours. The pain is usually pulsating or throbbing and in most cases only occurs on one side of the head. In addition to the pain, there are other symptoms such as sensitivity to sounds and/or light as well as nausea and even vomiting. Many sufferers also have other neurological symptoms such as visual disturbances (flashes in front of the eyes), seeing auras and numbness in the extremities or speech disorders.
As migraines are not so easy to diagnose and distinguish from other headache disorders, such as tension headaches or cluster headaches, the number of unreported cases of migraine sufferers and the number of people with probable migraines is significantly higher than the officially confirmed figures. In addition to those diagnosed with migraine, 13.7% of women and 12% of men have probable migraines. Therefore, in total, 28.5% of women and 18% of men struggle with migraines or migraine symptoms.
CBD for pain relief
The use and effect of CBD and other cannabinoids in pain therapy is an area that is currently the subject of much research. Cannabis has been used to treat pain for many thousands of years.3 Exactly how cannabinoids work in the human body has long been unclear and has not yet been fully researched. What is certain, however, is that our body’s own endocannabinoid system has a major influence on our immune system, our psyche and our perception of pain.
