Impact of Cannabis Extract on Motor and Non-Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease Patients

The chapter delves into the results of a trial on cannabis extract in Parkinson's disease patients, highlighting improvements in motor symptoms but a potential worsening in non-motor symptoms like cognition and sleep quality. Safety concerns and adverse effects, particularly with a CBD-high, THC-low compound, are discussed, with dizziness being the most common side effect noted. The chapter underlines the need for further research to weigh the benefits and risks of cannabis treatment in Parkinson's disease.
