Access the Migraine World Summit
The Migraine World Summit is going on as we speak and it’s an opportunity for you to access some of the best and brightest minds in the field of migraine and headache disorders without even having to get out of bed. I’m furiously taking notes which I will make available here on my blog soon. In the meantime, I’d like to urge you to take advantage of this opportunity by clicking on the link above and watching as many of the interviews as possible. You can also purchase an all-access pass that allows you to access all of the interviews and additional information at any time, even after the summit has concluded. With this option, you can watch the interviews at your leisure, stopping and starting as you please, without feeling pressed for time.
In my previous post, I wrote briefly about Dr. Robert Cowan’s lecture on migraine causes and triggers as well as the increasing role of technology in the diagnosis and treatment of migraine. It’s a must-see interview for anyone living with migraine.
Today, I’d like to suggest that you watch the interview with Dr. Eric Baron from the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute. He gives a fascinating history of medical cannibis (marijuana) as well as a summary of how it’s being used today for a variety of conditions, including migraine and other headache disorders. He gives an in-depth look at the political climate that affects the use of marijuana both medically and recreationally as well as discussing the challenges faced by doctors, patients, and researchers seeking more information about medical cannibis in the United States. (Though 23 states, as well as Washington D.C. have voted to legalize medical cannibis, it is still illegal at the federal level.) I’ll post a longer summary once I’ve organized my notes but I suggest you watch this interview yourself as well. Perhaps you may even opt to share this with your migraine/headache specialist. I hope you enjoy Dr. Baron’s presentation as much as I did. Feel free to leave comments on this post or to e-mail me at themigrainewarrior@gmail.com with any further comments or questions. Wishing you a low-pain day and hoping that you are as well as possible.
