A cannabis-based drug may help ease muscle movement for people suffering from motor neuron disease, the results of a clinical trial have shown.
The study, published in The Lancet Neurology journal, showed that chemical compounds - delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol THC and cannabidiol (THC-CBD) - derived from the cannabis sativa plant given as an add-on treatment may help ease symptoms of spasticity (tight or stiff muscles).
