Medicinal cannabis effective in controlling seizures in kids - Video
Overview
Epilepsy is a central nervous system causing abnormal brain activity, epilepsy is estimated to cause nearly in 3.4 million people in USA. No proper treatment has proven to be effective so far in treating epilepsy.
A case series, published in the open access journal BMJ Paediatrics Open reveals epileptic seizure frequency fell by an average of 86% among 10 children when treated with whole plant medicinal cannabis.
None of the children had responded to other treatments, including the only cannabidiol (CBD) product licensed for their condition. The findings prompt the researchers to call for further exploration of the potential therapeutic benefits of whole plant medicinal cannabis products.
"Such a move would be hugely beneficial to the families, who in addition to having the psychological distress of looking after their chronically ill children, have also to cover the crippling financial burden of their medication."
