Ketamine for migraines
Ketamine could be your breakthrough
Ketamine treatments can reduce the frequency and severity of debilitating migraine headaches. Intense sufferers have reported being able to function normally for several years with controlled migraines, thanks to ketamine.
Migraines are a big headache
Each year, American workers miss over 113 million workdays due to migraines, making chronic illness the sixth most debilitating. More than mere headaches, migraines often cause intense pain, hypersensitivity, and nausea, among other symptoms.
Despite these staggering statistics, migraines are notoriously difficult to treat. However, recent research shows that ketamine reduces both the frequency and duration of migraines and also reduced the number of other medications needed in acute migraine attacks.
Fun-fact:
John Lilly, a neuroscientist pioneer in researching early dolphin-to-human communication and dolphin intelligence, experimented with ketamine to cure his Migraine headaches.
