- Abstract
This case report aims to report the treatment of muscle spasticity in two patients using phytocannabinoids. The first case is a patient with cervical and lumbar disc herniation, evolving with spasticity, mainly at nighttime. After the treatment with phytocannabinoids, the pacient evolved with a reduction of involuntary movements and night waking. The second patient has fibromyalgia, associated with spasticity of upper limbs, insomnia and mood shifts. After the treatment with phytocannabinoids, the paciente evolved with cessation of involuntary movements, better sleep quality and pain relief. We conclude that phytocannabinoides were able to reduce muscle spasticity, and helped the treatment of associated conditions.
