  • Title: Cannabis effect on spasticity in spinal cord injury.
    Author: Malec J, Harvey RF, Cayner JJ.
    Journal: Arch Phys Med Rehabil; 1982 Mar; 63(3):116-8. PubMed ID: 6978699.
    Abstract:
    A study was done to examine the perceived effects of cannabis on spasticity of spinal cord injured persons. Data compiled from 43 questionnaires of spinal cord injured persons suggested the following: 1) spinal cord injured persons reported decreased spasticity with marijuana use; 2) present use of marijuana correlated positively with past use; and 3) the person's reference or peer group contributed significantly to current use. The study suggests the need to examine the relationship between measurable and reported changes in spasticity.
