Chronic Pain
- Potential reduction in pain intensity
- Improvement of secondary symptoms associated to chronic pain such as anxiety and insomnia
Neurology
- Seizure control (reduction)
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Positive impact on quality of life, psychotic symptoms (i.e. hallucinations or delusions), and REM sleep behavior disorder
- Management of episodic and chronic migraine
- Reduction of spasticity
- Medical cannabis may reduce tics severity, ameliorate comorbidities, and improve health-related quality of life in adult patients
Psychiatric Conditions
- Reduction of social anxiety
- Improvement of anxiety associated with chronic conditions (i.e. chronic pain, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease)
- Reduced behavioural symptoms in dementia
- Improvement in the quality of sleep and increase in the number of hours of sleep
- Improvement of depression as a symptom associated with chronic pain
- A growing body of evidence suggests that medical cannabis may help reducing the use of opioids, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as the subsequent harms associated to these substances
- Reduction in the frequency of nightmares
- Attenuation of traumatic memories
Palliative & Cancer Care
- Increased appetite in patients with HIV and advanced cancer
- Improvement in the quality of sleep
- Optimizes sleep induction and maintenance
- Decreased intensity of pain and other associated symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and mood
- Decrease in anxiety and depression as symptoms associated with cancer
- Control of nausea and vomiting
