Cannabis effect on spasticity in spinal cord injury.
Malec J, Harvey RF, Cayner JJ.
Abstract
A study was done to examine the perceived effects of cannabis on spasticity of spinal cord injured persons. Data compiled from 43 questionnaires of spinal cord injured persons suggested the following: 1) spinal cord injured persons reported decreased spasticity with marijuana use; 2) present use of marijuana correlated positively with past use; and 3) the person's reference or peer group contributed significantly to current use. The study suggests the need to examine the relationship between measurable and reported changes in spasticity.

They need to do more research.

“Whiting et al. (2015) searched for studies examining the efficacy of cannabinoids for spasticity due to MS or paraplegia. They identified 11 studies that included patients with MS and 3 that included patients with paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury. None of the studies in patients with paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury were reported as full papers or included sufficient data to allow them to be included in pooled estimates...
4-7(b) There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the conclusion that cannabinoids are an effective treatment for spasticity in patients with paralysis due to spinal cord injury.”

“This diminishes neuronal hyperexcitability and may attenuate seizure frequency. It also ameliorates the spasticity and tremors of multiple sclerosis and Huntington’s disease in animal models.7“

it does help but doesn't totally relieve it. it does so much more then just relieve spasticity, it promotes sleep, promotes appetite, calms mental stresses, mood enhancer, sexual function enhancer. all these issues affect many with sci.

Not meaning to derail from garciia20’s question,...but this recent story on marijuana is sad.

I take kratom. From what I read, it isn’t nearly so effective as marijuana,... but it’s legal in most States, including Texas. I order it through the mail. It helps my spasms a lot. If my clonus is keeping me awake, a half teaspoon of kratom with water will take effect in about 20 minutes, and I’ll go to sleep.

RSO works better than anything that I've tried including Baclofin, unfortunately such things make me an outlaw where I live.

I was put on a cannabis trial at a leading spinal injured centre in England. The drug I was taking was called Nabalone, which had both CBD and THC. Although it made me high as a kite, and was brilliant for pain, it did very little for my spasms. I can categorically state that even high doses of this drug did not do one single thing to help my spasms. I can also state that it was brilliant for pain. This year I have grown my own plant which is doing very well. The idea is to make my own CBD oil. I am not a smoker, so I don't want to inhale it. Could make some biscuits, too.
