Scientists test if marijuana eases brain woes in schizophrenia
NCT ID NCT01964404
Summary
This study aimed to understand why people with schizophrenia often use cannabis. Researchers tested if low doses of cannabis or a cannabis-like medicine (dronabinol) could help regulate the brain's reward system in people with both schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder. They used brain scans and other tests on 263 participants, including healthy volunteers, to see if these substances provided any benefit or clues about 'self-medication'.
