How much did the NIH spend on cluster headache in 2024 relative to other similarly prevalent conditions?

Narcolepsy: $10M
Cluster headache: $0.5M

Funding to prevent the worst pain a human can experience is a rounding error. This needs to end.

New in Neurology: Results from international survey on DMT for cluster headache.

67% said DMT completely eliminates pain from attacks - most within 30 seconds.

Research by Dr. Schindler at Yale & Clusterbusters.

@dream_mindlabs Thank you! Our guess is that DMTx could indeed provide longer lasting relief. Happy to discuss further!

New results on DMT for cluster headache.

"Among those who used DMT to abort attacks (n = 85), the majority reported it completely eliminates pain (67.5%) and that it works every (45.7%) or almost every (35.8%) single time. Over half reported that DMT worked in under 30 seconds"

[Captain Pleasure, Andrés Gómez Emilsson @algekalipso]

Published in Neurology, "the most widely read and highly cited peer-reviewed neurology journal", on June 9 2026

Results

From a total 248 completed surveys, 100 participants met criteria for cluster headache. Of these, 84% were male and average age was 49 years. The most common place to have learned about DMT treatment was social media/online. More than one mode of ingestion was often tried, but 75% had used a vape pen. Among those who used DMT to abort attacks (n = 85), the majority reported it completely eliminates pain (67.5%) and that it works every (45.7%) or almost every (35.8%) single time. Over half reported that DMT worked in under 30 seconds, and all participants reported either no change or an improvement in their health with DMT use.

"An honest conversation about life with one of the most painful conditions known to medicine... The challenges, the isolation, the resilience it takes to keep moving forward, and the importance of finding people who truly understand."

@itsTWENNY @FatherMcKennaa Dr. Schindler and her team at Yale will soon publish a study on the efficacy of DMT for CH. We'll share the results as soon as they're out! :)

@RollingRingo @amardh1llon @FatherMcKennaa Sorry to hear you had a difficult experience! It sounds like you might have taken a much higher dose than needed to abort CH. Most patients need sub-perceptual doses. More details here: https://t.co/ISrdrOvvOH

Today we're launching https://t.co/KfDZriV9qp: High-quality, multilingual guides on cluster headache treatments, for patients, caregivers, and doctors looking for reliable information on what actually works.

https://t.co/F2O5uBkOUL

[ClusterFree @ClusterFree_]

Our goal with ClusterInfo is to reach thousands of patients and help them find effective treatments faster, especially in countries where little information is available.

We will publish more guides and translate the website into more languages in the coming weeks.

Tommy also uses N,N-DMT to abort attacks when they're getting more severe; the pain goes away within minutes.

Treating cluster headaches with 5-MeO-DALT: Tommy Young's testimonial

"5-MeO-DALT has definitely given me my life back."

https://t.co/AsRal8LPUh

[ClusterFree @ClusterFree_]

Tommy is a chronic cluster headache patient (since 2021) from Scotland. After standard pharmaceutical treatments failed to treat his clusters, Tommy has found relief in psychedelic medicine. LSD brought some relief, but 5-MeO-DALT has been a life-saver.

"And that pain is so intense, there's no way to describe what that is to the normal person. […] You don't really know what pain is until you've had CH. DMT gives you some peace of mind of being out of that pain quickly."

[ClusterFree @ClusterFree_]

Mark, chronic cluster headache patient, shares his experience using DMT.

"It's very effective, very fast. I don't like the ride afterwards, but you do come back quickly. And it stops the pain immediately."
