“Cannabis can alleviate pain of various etiologies.
This study assessed the effect of cannabis on motor symptoms and pain parameters in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).
CONCLUSIONS:
Cannabis improved motor scores and pain symptoms in PD patients, together with a dissociate effect on heat and cold pain thresholds. Peripheral and central pathways are probably modulated by cannabis.
SIGNIFICANCE:
Quantitative sensory test results are significantly altered following cannabis consumption in patients with PD. Cannabis probably acts on pain in PD via peripheral and central pathways.”
