HIV/AIDS Patients Report Subjective Relief from Cannabis, Study Says
May 12, 2005 - London,
United Kingdom
London, United Kingdom: Nearly one
third of HIV-positive individuals report using cannabis to obtain therapeutic
relief, and more than 90 percent of them say that it improves their appetite,
muscle pain, and other symptoms, according to the results of an anonymous
cross-sectional questionnaire study published in the April issue of the Journal
of Pain and Symptom Management. Of the 523 patients who participated in the study, 143
(27 percent) reported using cannabis for symptom management, including improved
appetite (97 percent), muscle pain (94 percent), nausea (93 percent), anxiety
(93 percent) and nerve pain (90 percent). A previous survey of HIV patients in the US found that
approximately one in
four had reported using medicinal cannabis in the past month, while a
similar Canadian survey
found that 29 percent of HIV-positive patients used cannabis. Presently, clinical
trials examining the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids in HIV patient
populations are ongoing at the University of California Center
for Medicinal Cannabis Research. According to a published
study in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, use of inhaled
marijuana demonstrates "no major, short-term harmful effects and possibly
some beneficial effects ... in HIV-infected patients taking protease
inhibitors." Return Back To Main Medical Reports Page
