First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how two parts of cannabis, THC and CBD, affect thinking and bladder symptoms in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Thirty adults with MS will take either THC or CBD oil for 15 weeks and complete tests and questionnaires. The goal is to see if one compound helps more with mental processing speed and bladder control.
