Psilocybin treatments for Migraine Headaches

Causes of Migraine Headaches

Migraines are complex neurological conditions with various triggers. Psilocybin therapy works to address the underlying causes by targeting brain activity and pain pathways, helping patients find relief from chronic headaches.

• Genetic factors: Migraines often run in families, indicating a genetic predisposition.
• Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, particularly in women, can trigger migraines.
• Stress: High levels of stress can contribute to the onset of migraine headaches.
• Dietary triggers: Certain foods or drinks, such as caffeine, alcohol, or processed foods, may trigger migraines.
• Environmental factors: Bright lights, loud noises, or changes in weather can provoke migraines.

Types of Migraine Headaches

Psilocybin therapy can be effective in treating various types of migraines, providing relief tailored to your specific condition.

• Migraine with aura: Characterized by visual disturbances or other sensory changes before the headache.
• Migraine without aura: The most common type of migraine, without any sensory warning signs.
• Chronic migraine: Occurs more than 15 days a month, causing persistent discomfort.
• Hemiplegic migraine: A rare type of migraine that includes temporary weakness on one side of the body.
• Retinal migraine: Involves temporary loss of vision or visual disturbances in one eye before the headache begins.
