One of the many symptoms of Parkinson's is pain - some of which is
understandable, but much of the pain is inexplicable, leaving the patient in
constant misery. Latest research has revealed that genetic factors may be able
to explain such pain, and new understanding will enable a unique treatment to
be available. According to a recently published research paper in "The
European Journal of Pain", variations of functions were observed regarding
pain connecting to cannabis-like substances in the brain. The results of the
Neurology Department reported that the results support the treatment of
Parkinson's patients using medical marijuana. Further research is going ahead,
looking into the use of cannabis for pain relief. A large percentage of
Parkinson's patients suffer from unexplained pain, and if this symptom can be
relieved, the quality of life will certainly be increased. The medical cannabis
can be administered by liquid, (not dissimilar to an eye dropper bottle),
thereby ensuring the precise amount is given by the exact number of drops
administered under the tongue, for the optimum dosage according to each patient.
Constant pain is very draining, and as the findings suggest, this could well be
a future option for some patients.
