Positive Results: Psilocybin Reduces Cluster Headache Attacks A new extension phase study from Yale led by Dr. Emmanuelle Schindler proves that repeated, low-doses of psilocybin lead to a significant reduction in the number of cluster headache attacks. After doing a 3-dose pulse regimen of low-dose psilocybin, cluster headache attacks went down from a baseline of 18.4 to 9.8 cluster attacks per week. For more information: https://conta.cc/4d8NI22

Hi Larry, While Bob and others greatly appreciated overflowing support that came from everywhere when we shared the news, I think it's best to respect Bob's privacy. Enough people in the community had concerns about his wellbeing that it made sense to share the news, to celebrate and lay questions to rest. Thanks!

Attention: Survey closing March 31st! We need your input to help us understand and improve treatments for cluster headache. The Cluster Headache Medication and Psychedelic Use Survey seeks to assess the use and efficacy of medicines, alternative substances, devices, procedures and psychedelic substances people use to treat their cluster headache. We expect this will be one of the largest surveys ever conducted of people with cluster headache. With big data, we hope to find big and better solutions. This survey is for people 18 and older who have been diagnosed with cluster headache. It is an anonymous survey and no personally identifying information is collected. The survey is expected to take 20-45 minutes to complete. The survey must be completed in one sitting (you can’t save and come back to it). The survey is easiest to do on a computer or tablet, but can also be done on mobile devices. The survey is a joint project of Clusterbusters and UTHealth Houston. The results of this survey will be used for research, advocacy, and new treatment development. Please participate in one of the largest cluster headache surveys: https://conta.cc/3NRqa7a

Alx, I don't know your situation or how much a scholarship might be able to cover, but I do suggest that if you are really interested in attending you apply for a travel scholarship as it's within a day's travel of where you are located. If travel isn't something you can manage, I understand as someone who can't do it myself. But I wanted to make sure you at least were aware that the application was available. Apply HERE. Take care!
