Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease that can cause spasticity, weakness, pain, fatigue and balance problems. Disease-modifying treatment and follow-up belong with a specialist team and should never be stopped without that team.
Medical cannabis and multiple sclerosis and spasticity
The most structured evidence mainly concerns nabiximols, a standardized THC:CBD product, added to treatment for persistent spasticity. Assessment should remain coordinated with neurology and distinguish spasticity, pain and other symptoms.
What the evidence shows
Reviews and meta-analyses report improvement in patient-rated spasticity for some people using nabiximols in addition to usual treatment. Objective clinical measures and individual response may differ.
What it does not establish
Findings for a standardized medicine cannot automatically be generalized to all oils, flower or cannabis concentrations. Cannabinoids do not modify the course of multiple sclerosis.
Points to discuss during the assessment
- The targeted symptom: spasticity, spasms or pain
- Neurology follow-up and disease-modifying treatment
- Balance, falls, cognition and fatigue
- Current antispasticity or sedating medication
Important precautions
- Adverse effects can include drowsiness, dizziness, impaired attention, anxiety or a faster heart rate.
- THC can impair driving and the operation of machinery; never drive while impaired.
- Particular caution is required during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with some heart conditions, or with a personal or family history of psychosis.
- Tell the practitioner about all current medications and supplements so possible interactions can be assessed.
