[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2462780, member: 7629"] [URL="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2014-03-24/marijuana-benefits-ms-where-many-other-alternative-remedies-fail"]A study published Monday in the journal Neurology has found that medical marijuana could help ease multiple sclerosis symptoms.[/URL] The study found that taking the drug in pill or oral-spray form can help to reduce stiffness and involuntary spasms, and the pain that can come with those symptoms. Medical marijuana can also help with frequent urination, the study found. Researchers examined a whole range of complementary or alternative medicine therapies often used by those who battle MS, including bee sting therapy, gingko biloba, magnetic therapy, omega-3 fatty acids and reflexology. They reviewed 2,608 studies on these therapies to determine which might be effective in alleviating MS symptoms, and discovered that the pill or oral spray form of medical marijuana provided the most evidence that it could help. Still, don’t light up just yet: The report states that there isn’t enough research to determine whether smoking the drug would have the same effect. Although medical marijuana in these forms did help with a range of symptoms, it appeared to have little effect on reducing tremors or urinary incontinence. There were also several negative side effects associated with using this therapy - including dizziness, drowsiness, loss of balance and cognitive issues. The results of the study have helped to form the basis of new guidelines on alternative treatments for MS from the American Academy of Neurology.
