People with restless leg syndrome (RLS) may find “significant” long-term relief with cannabis treatment, according to a new study.

While dopamine agonists have traditionally been the “first-line treatment” for RLS, recent studies indicate that gabapentinoids are now being recommended, the researchers said. Because cannabinoids, like gabapentinoids, inhibit a certain type of amino acid associated with the disorder, scientists decided to test their therapeutic effectiveness.

The open-label exploratory study, conducted by European researchers at the University of Madrid and published in the Journal of Neurology, found that a cannabis product containing 2.7 mg of THC and 2.5 mg of CBD was “effective in reducing RLS severity” among patients with multiple sclerosis and “associated idiopathic RLS.”

“Improvements were observed after 1 to 3 months of treatment and were maintained after 1 year among patients who continued therapy,” the study of 18 patients with RLS showed. For those who remained in treatment after a year, 67 percent “continued to show sustained improvement.”

The the findings it may not be surprising that cannabis in particular is known to reduce the severity of muscle spasms and related conditions, but its effectiveness for RLS is remarkable given that no state specifically lists it as a condition for medical cannabis.

Of course, RLS can be a symptom of other general disorders like multiple sclerosis, and some states give doctors more latitude to make recommendations for medical marijuana for any condition they see fit.

In any case, research outside of Spain could be based on research into alternative treatment options that could replace dopamine agonists in the treatment of restless legs syndrome.
