Cannabis Oil Combined With Physiotherapy Reduced Post-Stroke Tremor and Thalamic Pain in Case Report

A case report published in Current Neuropharmacology by researchers from the University of Catania details how a combination of cannabis oil and physiotherapy was associated with substantial improvements in a patient suffering from post-stroke dystonic tremor and post-stroke thalamic pain, two conditions that are often difficult to treat with conventional medications.
Post-stroke tremor and thalamic pain are known to significantly reduce quality of life, and standard pharmacological treatments frequently provide limited relief.
In this case, a female patient with a history of thalamic ischemia was treated with cannabis oil in combination with a structured physiotherapy regimen.
After 12 months of combined treatment, the patient experienced a 60% reduction in pain levels and a 56.88% decrease in tremor severity.
The researchers note that the sustained improvements observed over the year-long follow-up suggest that combining cannabis oil with physiotherapy may represent a useful therapeutic approach for managing post-stroke dystonic tremor and thalamic pain.
