‘Psilocybin Efficacy and Acceptability on Cluster Headache Episodes’ PEACE Study

[Craigo]

Hi all.

I used the search function to see if this had been shared on the forums already, I couldn't find anything. Australian headache researcher Dr Faraidoon Haghdoost has obtained funding for a clinical trial into the potential for psilocybin to prevent disabling cluster headache, funded through the Novel Treatments and Management Strategies for Chronic Pain stream of the Australian Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF). The trial is called the ‘Psilocybin Efficacy and Acceptability on Cluster Headache Episodes’ PEACE Study.

Faraidoon has put a request out to any Australian Cluster Headache warriors that would be prepared to talk about their journey with the disease to help raise awareness, I quote from his recent post on Big Head Pain on Facebook. If you are a CH warrior in Australia or know someone that is whom may be willing to have a chat with Faraidoon about getting involved, please reach out to him at the links below.

Seeking a Person with Cluster Headache for a Media Interview (Plus Big Publication News!) I’m excited to share that our manuscript, “Patient Perspectives on Research Gaps in Cluster Headache”, has been accepted for publication in Headache journal! This work is deeply rooted in patient experience, and we’re thrilled to see it moving into the academic and clinical space. As part of sharing this milestone, we’re organising media interviews to discuss the findings and raise awareness of cluster headache.

We are looking for someone living with cluster headache in Australia who would be willing to join one of these interviews - including sharing their name, photo, and personal experience, if comfortable.

Your voice could make a real difference in helping the broader community understand the condition. If you’re interested - or would like more information before deciding - please comment below or message me privately. We’d be very happy to include someone from our community in these interviews. Thank you all for your ongoing support and for continuing to strengthen this community.
