In a placebo-controlled study, 10 migraine sufferers were given a moderate dose of psilocybin and, two weeks later, they were still feeling the benefits.
The participants, seven women and three men, regularly experienced at least two migraines per week. Researchers administered an oral placebo in the first experimental session followed by an identical oral psilocybin capsule in the second session.
No participants reported adverse effects from the psilocybin and most reported a significant decrease in migraines. Researchers found that the reduction in migraine was not correlated with how strongly the participants felt the effects of the psilocybin, suggesting that microdosing may provide significant benefits.
