Irish neurologists prescribing cannabis as treatment for MS and other medical conditions
Over the past two decades, an increasing number of scientists have become interested in the potential benefits of medical cannabis for treating all kinds of illnesses, from multiple sclerosis to anxiety, sleep disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Neurologists in Ireland have revealed they are prescribing cannabis-based medicines for symptoms such as pain and spasticity in their patients.
A new all-Ireland survey conducted by Trinity College Dublin (TCD) found a third of neurologists have made an application to access cannabis-based medicines on behalf of a patient.
