| Abstract: | The article focuses on several studies about the use of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids for the treatment of headache. A study published in the 2009 issue of "Headache" found that cluster headache attacks are responsive to recreational cannabis and dronabinol. One study published in a 1999 issue of "Forsch Komplementarmed" showed the successful use of cannabis products for the treatment of a multitude of various illnesses and symptoms. Another study published in a 2007 issue of "Brain" dealt with reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome. |
