Do you have any studies you can point me toward on this?
A quick pubmed search of `("cluster headache" OR "migraine") AND ("dmt" or "dimethyltryptamine"), 14 results, has nothing relevant.
Not all truth is published -- but I frequently see poor claims of using psilocybin ("magic mushrooms") to treat migraine/cluster headache, of which, the clinical effects are potentially dubious [0], [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] in particular which I believe to be an effect driven by the desperation for treatment [6], [7] when nothing else has worked.

I get really worried about people suggesting psychoactive drugs with no clinical proof for it :(
