Neurological and Neurodegenerative Conditions

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Medical cannabis can help improve concentration, reduce hyperactivity, and support the management of symptoms.

Glaucoma is an ocular condition marked by increased intraocular pressure, which can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Cannabinoids may lower intraocular pressure and alleviate symptoms.

Headaches, including migraines and tension headaches, often interfere with daily life. Medical cannabis can reduce headache frequency and severity by modulating pain pathways.

Diabetic neuropathy is a complication of diabetes that damages peripheral nerves, causing pain, tingling, and numbness. Medical cannabis can provide pain relief and improve nerve health.

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, causing muscle spasticity, pain, and cognitive disturbances. Medical cannabis can reduce muscle spasticity, alleviate neuropathic pain, and improve mobility, contributing to a better quality of life.

Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary motor and vocal tics. Cannabis can reduce the frequency and intensity of these tics, improving overall well-being.

Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by tremors, muscle rigidity, and slowed movements. Medical cannabis can relieve motor symptoms, reduce pain, and improve sleep, contributing to a higher quality of life.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. Cannabis, particularly CBD, may help reduce anxiety, aggression, and seizures often associated with autism.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder leading to progressive cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral changes. Cannabis may offer neuroprotective effects, reduce agitation, and improve sleep disorders associated with the disease.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures. CBD has been clinically proven to reduce seizure frequency in certain forms of drug-resistant epilepsy, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder that causes intense, sudden facial pain. Medical cannabis can alleviate neuropathic pain and improve the overall quality of life for patients.

Arnold-Chiari syndrome is a structural malformation of the brain that can cause headaches, balance issues, and coordination problems. Medical cannabis can relieve chronic pain and associated symptoms.

ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. Medical cannabis can improve muscle spasticity, alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life.
