Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing Faculty Brent Luu, Elizabeth Rice and Philippe Goldin published “Should CBD be used for migraine?” in the Journal of the American Academy of Physician Associates. The article examines new clinical evidence on how cannabidiol (CBD) may help prevent and treat migraines, either alongside or as an alternative to standard therapies. Migraines affect 40 million Americans and over a billion people worldwide, ranking among the leading causes of disability and disrupting work, relationships and overall well-being. The multidisciplinary faculty team includes Luu, a pharmacist, Rice, a psych mental health nurse practitioner and Goldin, a clinical neuroscientist.
