Psilocybin pulse regimen reduces cluster headache attack frequency in the blinded extension phase of a randomized controlled trial

This double-blind, placebo-controlled study (n=10) assesses the safety and efficacy of repeated pulse administration of psilocybin (10mg/70kg, 3x in 15 days) in cluster headache patients. Following the initial trial, eligible participants received a psilocybin pulse at least 6 months later and kept headache diaries for 8 weeks. Results indicate a significant reduction in cluster attack frequency following the psilocybin pulse, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits.
