Research on the Effect of Cannabis on Essential Tremor

- Dr. Fatta Nahab, neurologist at the University of California San Diego Health (UC San Diego), is leading a study to examine the safety, efficacy and pharmacological properties of cannabis to treat essential tremor.
My mother's family has passed this condition on for generations. Some of my mom's cousins had brain surgery...with lasting side effects. At least one ended up in a wheelchair--and still had a tremor.
My mom started legal amounts of THC last week. Her tremors stopped within 10 minutes of her first dose. She can now write her name and eat in public without embarrassment.
Excited to see the results of this study. I have my own hypothesis based on personal experience as someone with ET, but having double blind studies is far more invaluable than anecdotal evidence.
Thank you Dr. Nahab for pursuing this clinical research. I have been self treating my own ET for 5 years with CBD infused oil, applied topically to the back of my neck at the hairline, and have seen consistent reduction of my ET. When I have a stressful event, I apply more and see calming in a few minutes. I can't wait for the results of your study, and encourage you to explore topical applications as well.
What is Cbd
I am Wilson's disease patient and I am having ET
Wow. Great comment. How did you learn that the back of the neck would be an effective location? Does it have anything to do with the location of the cerebellum?
Hello. What is CBD?
Hopefully we get results sometime soon, excited to see what the impact might be!
thanks for sharing!
I take CBD oil in cap form for my ET condition. It has been life changing for me, I can tackle many life tasks again and feel so much more confident.
It is working for the shaking? I have it too but I dont know If Marihuana Indica helps for his sedative effect or use only CBD
can i ask what you take? brand and everything... thank you. my dad has tremors and i'm looking into cbd
Many years ago I was diagnosed with benign essential tremor. At the time the doctor told me that they were not having very good results with most of the treatments. He also told me that if it wasn’t bothering and if I could live with the shaking that it really wouldn’t do me any harm by not treating it and at the time it wasn’t so I elected to just accept the shaking and to move on with my life. Over the years, the tremors have gotten worse, at times I can’t even write my name and need 2 hands to drink a glass of water. The one thing that I have found that make my hand steady as a rock is alcohol but I also know that I can not treat my tremors that way.
Now I am retired and most every hobby that I would like to pursue I can't are their a testing or trials that I would qualify for?
We have heard this same story from others who have ET. Tremors do worsen with age. Have you seen a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders? They have experience in essential tremor. We list clinical trials that we know of on our website: www.essentialtremor.org/research/research-recruitment/. You might also look at www.clinicaltrials.gov and key in "essential tremor" for a more comprehensive list. Please keep in touch with us.
Hi Lex Williams. I´ve suffer from the same... i start having very good results with CBD Oil. you should see this for products www.hempworx.com/davidmoises or for business www.winwithmdc.com/cp29/davidmoises . Thank you. David
Vivo lo mismo, en un primer momento me recetaron betabloqueantes los cuales no los tolero y el clonazepam no quise tomarlo, pero ya han pasado 15 años y los temblores han aumentado porque mi empleo es muy estresante y por mas que intente relajarme fuera ,el temblor esta ahí, persiguiéndome y me altera cada día mas mi vida social, estoy q comienzo una terapia casera con alcohol o pruebo la bendita marihuana!!
@@fabiolaalvarado2728 hi how u doing nowadays?! Its been 3 years since your comment and i wonder did cannabis or alcohol help you. I know alcohol is not good for anyone but if u take it just enough and not every week i think its fine
@@Aaturantanen hi, im fine! Sigo con el temblor, ni ha aumentado ni disminuido, a menos q me exceda con el café, ejercicios y estrés! No he probado ni la plantita milagrosa ni el alcohol... Mientras el temblor no límite mi vida social y laboral me mantendré así, y gracias por responderme!! 🫶🤝💪🥰 Que bárbaro como pasaron esos 3 años 😬🤪!
I would say cannabis kinda lessens the tremor but not much, it does however alleviate the frustration and anxiety associated with my hand tremors. I’m a 36 year old mechanic and I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to work on cars as well as I’m accustomed to
Hello Dr. My grandmother has pretty heavy essential tremors refuse to go to a doctor for treatment, she accepted to test canabis for treatment. I would like to have more information about canabioid dosage for essential tremors were could I reach you or someone qualified to help me with this goal. Thank you for your time
Progress has been slow in this area because of COVID. It has hindered the ability to get participants for this study, unfortunately. Your question is one many have. There are thousands of cannabinoid products on the market and only a handful have undergone testing for quality, safety and effectiveness -- so there is no set answer without this testing. Here is a link to a website that can provide you with much more information about cannabinoid products. You can see if testing has taken place in your state as well. www.cannabinoidclinical.com/fda-regulation-cannabinoids. There is also a good handout that can help you visit with your healthcare provider about this type of treatment. www.cannabinoidclinical.com/themes/custom/cbed/pdf/medical-marijuana-discussion-guide.pdf
I’m really interested to see the results. I’m a 22 year old male and have had essential tremor for as long as I can remember and nothing gives me the mental clarity and symptom relief like weed. Small amounts of alcohol give me short-term relief but the rebound effect makes it not worth it.
Hi Jason Ok. you should see this for products www.hempworx.com/davidmoises or for business www.winwithmdc.com/cp29/davidmoises . Thank you. David
Does human growth hormone work
Speaking as a 30 year old Male with ET, weed helps with the depression and anxiety associated with having et, however it does not stop the tremors. At least for me
What are you taking.. edible, tincture, pills?
Ali pills and just good old fashioned smoking
Same here except im 24
@@aperson4470 I started work on a hemp farm making medicine for folks like us. Hopefully so we wont have to take pills every day. I hope things work out for you!
waitwhat ? Does the medicine you make stop or improve the tremors? Unfortunately I live on england where hemp and cannabis are banned so I only have access to cannabis in flower form from the black market, I hope things work out for you too friend :D
I’m all for research and development, however there seems to be a craze with cannabis/marijuana/THC. People claim it helps anxiety. There have been studies with people and their marijuana habit. THC has been found to cause anxiety and paranoia. The higher THC content, the worse the anxiety is. I myself have essential tremor. I’ve taken medication that helped tremendously and helped with my migraines. The side effects though were horrible. I’ve been looking into the trendy cbd oil and copaiba oil. I’ve found the type of cannabinoids in copaiba essential oil to help me. I do not have severe essential tremor but it is enough to affect my daily life. That’s my personal finding. Good luck in your research, I hope your studies lead to great discovery.
CBD is where it's at
Larry Williamson
My own results yielded copaiba oil works better for me.
I'm finding CBD helpful. Moderately severe ET.
I've used top brand Colorado cures cbd oil for a month. Twice a day under the tongue. I haven't noticed any benefit from it at all. It hasn't helped my ET. It's 1,200mg twice a day and also quite expensive. Not sure what to do next? My neurologist wants to do DBS surgery but that's pretty scary to me.
I have also had a great response to using CBD oil.
I’m only experiencing slight tremors in my head when I’m trying to stay still. What would you recommend to do to stop these tremors or to contain them?
Tremors can be caused by many things. What you have could be essential tremor, but it also could be a side effect of medication or another health issue. It is important to see a movement disorder specialist to get a proper diagnosis.
Change your diet.
Mediterranean diet is great for the nervous system... getting vitamin D from the sun... drinking water
Don't drink coffee
@@JaneSmith-dj5dl Thanks for the response! Would you recommend taking any Vitamin B12 supplements?
@@zthasnipa3950 get it all from the foods! But yeah taking supplements won't hurt
Propranolal helps. I take a small dose
Healthy diet is best 👌👌
I have a yes and no head tremor. CBD keeps mine under control. It takes it away. I vape a small amount daily
Be ye first in your field Dr as we do here in Italy are grow thousands of plants without funding..... my husband is 100% on the cures .....thanks again
Please l can help you. I am from Bangladesh.l am very disappointed because of essential tremor
It’s already a year can we know the results of this research
Unfortunately, they got delayed because they could not get enough patients for the trial. The requirements they had were difficult to meet. We hope to have an update soon.
International Essential Tremor Foundation (IETF) is there any chance in future that there will be any cure for this tremor and want to know whether there are any researches going on to find a medicine
@@EssentialTremorIETF would really be great if this could happen! if there is proof that this would help it would really help me a lot. I hope you know that you have a lot of people's support and appreciation for the work you all do. thank you for taking this so seriously!
Based on my own personal experience, it made me shake even more 😢😢😢
We have had many people say CBD helps them. But just as many have said it has no effect on them at all. What we do know for sure is everyone's ET is different and therefore, treatments must be different.
@@EssentialTremorIETF For me it works really good! Normal cannabis, with thc.
In other words no research results yet. That took a long time just to get that message.
Unfortunately for me cannabis makes my tremors worse. I've suffered from ET from the age of about 12, and now I'm in my sixties the tremors have become severely debilitating. Propranalol improves them somewhat, but not to the extent that I can live anything like a normal life.
Mark, have you tried CBD oil (which has almost no THC)? Also higher dosage of Propanolol and Deep Brain Stimulation are worth discussing with your doc.
have you tried dopa mucuna + CBD?
Weed makes my ET waaaaaaaaay worse
weed as in you are smoking the herb or are you using a concentrated oil like RSO or?
@@jannette0307 dab pens
@@BudderB0y2222 I'm NO professional or anything close to it but from my PERSONAL research if I were you I would try the RSO and not smoke right now. but that is just me.
Did you already try WeedBorn CBD products?
