为了估计多发性硬化症(MS)患者使用大麻的模式和流行程度,对新斯科舍省哈利法克斯的220名患者进行了调查。72名受试者(36%)报告曾出于任何目的使用大麻;29个答复国(14%)报告继续使用大麻治疗症状。医用大麻的使用与男性性别、烟草使用和娱乐性大麻使用有关。据医用大麻使用者报告,最有效缓解的症状是压力、睡眠、情绪、僵硬/痉挛和疼痛。
To estimate the patterns and prevalence of cannabis use among patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), 220 patients were surveyed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Seventy-two subjects (36%) reported ever having used cannabis for any purpose; 29 respondents (14%) reported continuing use of cannabis for symptom treatment. Medical cannabis use was associated with male gender, tobacco use, and recreational cannabis use. The symptoms reported by medical cannabis users to be most effectively relieved were stress, sleep, mood, stiffness/spasm, and pain.
