Muscle Spasms

Muscle Spasms are a symptom of a number of illnesses including Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s but can also occur as a result of overuse of a muscle or dehydration. A transitory muscle spasm is known as Cramp and is a common occurrence that most humans will experience on their lifetime.

There have been various studies on the effect of cannabis on muscle spasms and its related symptoms.

In a 2012 clinical trial conducted by University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, 30 walking-impaired Multiple Sclerosis patients were given either synthetic THC or a placebo. Many of the subjects relied on walking aids to cope with their various disorders. The subjects that smoked THC saw a spasticity decrease of one-third more than those given the placebo. They also saw significant reductions in perceived muscle-related pain.

While in 2002, a survey conducted by King’s College Hospital in London revealed that nearly half of all patients suffering with Multiple Sclerosis were regularly using cannabis to control their muscle spasms.
