<\/figure>To understand why the hemp plant can be so effective in treating neurological disorders, it is worth taking a look at human anatomy. Specialized publications, such as those by the Swiss publisher Rosenfluh Publikationen AG, emphasize the central role of the endocannabinoid system<\/a>. This complex system plays a key role in regulating pain processing in the brain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Current scientific findings suggest that people who suffer from migraines often have a dysregulation in this very system. The phytocannabinoids in the hemp plant\u2014primarily THC and CBD\u2014can act like keys that bind to the receptors of this system. Through this interaction, pain signals are modulated, and typical accompanying symptoms such as nausea or extreme sensitivity to light are effectively alleviated. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n It has now been clinically proven that smoking cannabis\u2014or inhaling it\u2014measurably shortens the duration of migraine attacks. A highly regarded, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study (published on the Thieme medical portal and featured on medical platforms such as Netdoktor) provides the highest-quality evidence to date on this topic. <\/p>\n\n The researchers tested the inhalation method for acute migraine attacks and arrived at groundbreaking results:<\/p>\n\n The winning combination: A blend of 6% THC and 11% CBD has proven to be highly effective.<\/p>\n\n Rapid pain relief: Just two hours after inhalation, the combination was significantly more effective than the placebo, which contained no active ingredient.<\/p>\n\n Long-lasting effect: The pain-relieving effect was not only short-lived but remained consistent for 24 to 48 hours.<\/p>\n\n The data also show that while pure CBD was less effective than the THC-combination formulation in a direct comparison during an acute attack that had already begun, the synergy between the two active ingredients unleashes their full pain-relieving potential.<\/p>\n\n You can find more scientific analysis of the benefits and risks in our article ” Cannabis Studies 2025: Effects, Health, and Risks<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n Both the Hirslanden Headache Center and specialized neurological reports emphasize that cannabis is primarily considered as a treatment option when standard medications fail or are not tolerated by patients due to severe side effects.<\/p>\n\n While acute pain management often requires THC-containing products (which are therefore prescription-only in Switzerland), CBD is gaining attention for migraine prevention in particular. Prophylactic treatment aims to reduce the frequency of attacks. Since internal stress, lack of sleep, and muscle tension are among the most aggressive triggers of an attack, the regular, low-dose use of over-the-counter CBD in daily life can be a valuable, soothing support. <\/p>\n\n Medical research clearly shows that cannabis presents a complex challenge in the acute and preventive treatment of migraines, but at the same time offers an extremely promising therapeutic option. While the use of THC must be strictly supervised by medical professionals, the gentle, relaxing effects of CBD are available to all sufferers completely legally. <\/p>\n\n At Herba di Berna, we\u2019re here to support you on your natural journey toward greater balance.

Recent placebo-controlled studies show that inhaling a combination of THC and CBD, in particular, significantly shortens the duration of acute migraine attacks and provides rapid, long-lasting pain relief. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n In the case of an acute, severe attack, CBD alone is often less effective than when combined with THC. For prophylaxis\u2014that is, preventing attacks through stress reduction and muscle relaxation\u2014legal CBD is, however, an excellent tool suitable for everyday use. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The active compounds in the hemp plant (phytocannabinoids) bind to the receptors of the body\u2019s endocannabinoid system. This helps regulate dysregulated pain signals and alleviates associated symptoms such as nausea. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Recent studies show that certain cannabis-based products can be effective in treating acute migraine attacks. In particular, research has focused on a combination of THC and CBD. However, it is important to note that products containing THC require a prescription in Switzerland and must be used under medical supervision. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n Hirslanden Headache Center: Cannabis as a Treatment Option for Migraines<\/a> The discussion surrounding the use of cannabis and CBD for migraines in Switzerland has long since moved beyond anecdotal evidence and has become part of everyday clinical practice.
