ABSTRACT:
Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia, compromising patients’ quality of life. Although conventional treatment with levodopa and dopaminergic agonists is initially effective, its efficacy diminishes over time, prompting the search for alternative therapies. Medical cannabis has emerged as a promising option due to its action on the endocannabinoid system, which influences motor control.
