Chronic illnesses, also known as chronic diseases, are characterized as conditions that last one year or more, require ongoing medical attention or limit activities of daily living, or both.
In other words, individuals suffering from chronic diseases have a limited capacity for functioning in their daily routine, as the symptoms of these illnesses can reduce the ability of these patients to perform regular, simple tasks.
Evidence has shown that CBD can help regulate and ease the symptoms in patients suffering from many chronic illnesses:
– In adults with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, oral cannabinoids are effective antiemetics.
– In adults with chronic pain, patients who were treated with cannabis or cannabinoids are more likely to experience a clinically significant reduction in pain symptoms.
– In adults with multiple sclerosis (MS)-related spasticity, short-term use of oral cannabinoids improves patient-reported spasticity symptoms.
