What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s Disease occurs when nerve cells in the brain produce less dopamine, a chemical that helps control movement. While the exact cause of Parkinson’s remains unknown, genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role.
Tremors
Involuntary shaking, usually in the hands or fingers.Â
Bradykinesia (Slowness of Movement)
Difficulty initiating or controlling movements.Â
Muscle Rigidity
Stiffness that can cause discomfort and limit movement.Â
Postural Instability
Issues with balance and coordination, increasing fall risk.Â
Sleep Disturbances
Insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and vivid dreams.
Pain and Fatigue
Chronic pain, muscle cramping, and general fatigue.
Non-Motor Symptoms
Anxiety, depression, cognitive impairment, and digestive issues.Â
How Might Medical Cannabis Help?
Emerging research suggests that medical cannabis may help alleviate some of the symptoms associated with Parkinson’s disease, particularly those related to pain, muscle stiffness, and sleep disturbances. The endocannabinoid system, which regulates various functions such as movement, mood, and pain perception, is believed to play a role in Parkinson’s symptom management.Â
While research into medical cannabis and Parkinson’s is still developing, early studies and patient reports suggest potential benefits. A study published in Clinical Neuropharmacology found that patients using cannabis reported improvements in pain, tremors, and overall quality of life. Another review in npj Parkinson’s Disease highlighted cannabinoids’ potential in reducing neuroinflammation, which is believed to contribute to Parkinson’s progressionÂ
