Cannabis Parkinsons Disease Treatment? (STUDY & RESEARCH 2019)

Parkinson's Cannabis / Marijuana Treatment (Major Study)

  • Scientists have been dealing with the possibility of treating Parkinson with marijuana for years
  • In this article, you will learn about our current scientific knowledge in the treatment of Parkinson's disease with cannabis
The following information is based on the latest studies, as well as the Parkinson Foundation experts' meeting, hosted by Dr. Benzi M. Kluger , Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry at the Colorado State University.

In brief, in Parkinson's Disease Alternative Cannabis Assistanceeven the following studies (see below for more details) :

  • A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial showed that during the use of two different dosesn CBD oil in capsule has improved the quality of life and reduced tremor in 21 patients suffering from Parkinson's

  • 2014 study noticed improvement in tremor with a total of 22 patients suffering from Parkinson during treatment with cannabis m (by smoking)

  • Furthermore, CBD capsules have helped six patients suffering from Parkinson's psychosis (hallucinations, paranoia, false ideas) during the 2009 research

Marijuana and Parkinson's Disease: What Do We Know?

Patients suffering from Parkinson's disease and their caregivers often ask the same question: Is it possible to heal Parkinson with healing cannabis?

Scientists around the world have, until recently, the possible treatment of Parkinson marijuana uninterested enough in depth, which is reflected in the small number of studies , which also were not able to reach any definite conclusion.

However, both patients and badaPeople are more and more curious about Parkinson's treatment options, and we now have the opportunity to look at official research from Israel, which includes more than 2,700 elderly patients.

What can cannabis / marijuana offer patients?

Mature female cannabis plants contain in their flowers  therapeutic agents - cannabinoids.

However, in today's article we will go straight to researching cannabis exposure in Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson's disease: Scientific knowledge about cannabis treatment

What role do endocannabinoids play in Parkinson's?

Scientists arenow aware that the basal ganglia brain area, which is under attack during Parkinson's, is also full of endocannabinoid receptors.

In this area, both the CB1 receptor, which is primarily part of the nervous system, and the CB2 receptors, which care for immune system functions, are found.

Cannabis against tremor during Parkinson's

Researchers have also found interesting findings during experiments on mice that have been exposed to levodopa for a long time .

Treatment with preparationsror. In the case of Parkinson's, patients with Parkinson's disease are associated with gradual development of unwanted movements and twitching of the body.

During the administration of therapeutic cannabis to sick mice, their tremors and jerk frequencies decreased markedly.

Elderly cannabis (including Parkinson's patients ) has been helping studies

Other modern studies suggest that cannabis is therapeutic maybe an effective medicine for the elderly.

The positive effects of marijuana in the area of relief of disease symptoms have also been beneficial in the case of cancer and especially pain in addition to Parkinson's disease .
