Cannabis for Dystonia

Dystonia is a movement disorder in which some of your body’s muscles contract in ways you can’t control. This can cause your body to twist and move in awkward ways. 

Dystonia can affect one muscle, a muscle group, or your entire body. Dystonia affects about 1% of the population, and you’re more likely to have it if you’re assigned female at birth.

A subset of dystonia patients who use medical cannabis under clinical observationHave seen improvement during 30 months of use in average. Further prospective randomized controlled trials are required to examine the effectiveness of cannabis in dystonia
