Cannabis effects on MS trialled
Patients are being recruited for a trial to determine whether chemicals in cannabis can slow the impact of multiple sclerosis. #
Evidence suggests the drug may relieve symptoms but the three-year national trial is also to determine whether it slows the disease's progress.
It is estimated that 85,000 people in the UK have multiple sclerosis (MS).
Prof John Zajicek, of the Peninsula Medical School and Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, will lead the research.
