A significant number of epilepsy patients turn to nonmedical cannabis for seizure control, often without their physician's knowledge, new research shows. AAN2023 AANAM
There is growing interest in the use of cannabis for epilepsy, although medical cannabis may not be readily available, Li explained.
Across the studies included in the review, the median number of PWE using NMC was 24.5. The lifetime prevalence of NMC use by PWE was highly variable, ranging from 0.69% to 76.8%. Studies of NMC in PWE are mostly from Western countries. There are significant gaps in knowledge about NMC use by PWE from African, Middle Eastern, Central/Southern American, and Asian countries.
However, some studies suggest associations between cannabis use by PWE and lower levels of education, psychiatric comorbidities, lower socioeconomic standing, and being single. Confirming these associations would require larger, more robust epidemiologic studies.
