Researchers have looked at trial results involving the first cannabinoid treatment licensed to alleviate muscle spasms in MS.
According to their findings, published in the Drugs and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB), the trials showed sufferers who used the mouth spray, called Sativex, experienced small improvements compared to those who received a placebo. However, the reviewers say in many of the studies Sativex was used for relatively short periods – from six weeks to four months.
