The results of a survey published in the scientific journal Neurology show that both psilocybin-containing mushrooms and LSD may help reduce the severity and frequency of cluster headaches. The investigators concluded that while the results of this study are promising, it is not yet known if these drugs help with cluster headaches through their psychoactive effects or a mechanism unrelated to it. While more research is needed to confirm these findings, the results of this study are promising.
