What is the role of cannabinoids in managing the symptoms of multiple sclerosis? Cannabinoids may play a beneficial role in managing symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS), including spasticity, pain, and bladder dysfunction. Clinical studies indicate that cannabinoids can help reduce muscle spasms and improve overall mobility in MS patients. Additionally, cannabinoids may alleviate neuropathic pain and improve sleep quality, addressing common challenges faced by individuals with MS. The anti-inflammatory properties of cannabinoids may also have a protective effect on the nervous system. As research continues to explore cannabinoid applications in MS, they may become an integral part of comprehensive management strategies for this complex condition (Hurd et al., 2019).
