Treats Headaches and Body Pains

Hydergine is not only a powerful cognitive enhancer. There is increasing evidence that hydergine has potent pain-relieving properties:
1. In patients who experienced migraines, hydergine use significantly reduced the frequency of headache attacks, days with a headache, and consumption of painkillers. [134]
2. In patients with migraines and cluster headaches, administration of sublingual hydergine tablets at a dose of 0.5 mg reduced symptoms by increasing blood flow to the brain. [135]
3. One study found that hydergine and other ergot alkaloids are in par with pain relievers for the treatment of headaches. [136]
4. In patients with headaches secondary to vascular deficiency, hydergine treatment relieved symptoms. [137]
5. Hydergine administration in patients with vasomotor headache, a type of headache that occurs during abrupt position changes, reduced the frequency and intensity of headaches. [138]
6. In patients with pain associated with sickle cell crisis, hydergine administration reduced pain intensity without adverse side effects. [139]
7. Hydergine administration also reduced pain in patients with painful posttraumatic osteoporosis. [140]
8. Hydergine was also effective in the treatment of patients with painful shoulder and shoulder-band syndrome. [141]
