Summary

This small pilot study will test whether medicinal cannabis can help ease symptoms like pain and muscle spasms in children receiving palliative care for non-cancer conditions. Ten children aged 6 months to 21 years will receive one of two cannabis products, and researchers will track how well families tolerate the medication and study procedures. The goal is to see if a larger, more definitive trial is possible.
