Quick Summary

In this randomized controlled trial, vaporized cannabis flower containing THC and CBD reduced pain and migraine symptom severity among adults with episodic or chronic migraine headaches.

What was studied?

The effect of cannabis flower containing delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD) on migraine pain and symptom severity.

The primary outcome in this study was migraine pain relief 2 hours after cannabis use.

Smartphone questionnaires were completed at 1, 2, 24, and 48 hours after cannabis use to assess pain levels (no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, or severe pain). Prior to cannabis use, the participants identified their most bothersome symptom (MBS) as either photophobia (light sensitivity), phonophobia (sound sensitivity), or nausea. MBS severity was reported at each time point.

This data was used to identify instances of pain relief (reductions in severity), pain freedom (absence of pain), or sustained pain freedom (sustained absence of pain at 24 or 48 hours without the use of rescue medication). MBS freedom and sustained MBS freedom were assessed in a similar manner.
