How we can help

When traditional treatment methods fail to provide adequate relief, medical cannabis has been proven to improve quality of life for people living with neurological conditions.

 

For example, this study from 2017, ‘Neurological Aspects of Medical Use of Cannabidiol’, tested the effects of medical cannabis on a variety of neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Huntington’s disease. The researchers, Carmen Mannucci, Michele Navarra, Fabrizio Calapai, Elvira V Spagnolo, Francesco P Busardò, Roberto D Cas, Francesca M Ippolito, and Gioacchino Calapai, found that medical cannabis produced “beneficial effects” in a range of the neurological conditions in question.

 

Medical cannabis works directly with the central and peripheral nervous systems by interacting directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system to regulate pain and provide relief from a number of symptoms. Severe epilepsy – especially in children –  is just one example. Certain childhood syndromes such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which typically don’t respond to antiseizure medications, can also be treated with medicinal cannabis.

 

Further conditions treatable with medicinal cannabis include neuropathic pain, seizures, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and migraines.
