NCT05106504

Brief Summary

Medical cannabis (MC) is a standard treatment in Israel to Parkinson's disease (PD) patients suffering from pain. Nevertheless, it is not known about MC effectiveness for other non-motor symptoms of the disease. Our aim is to prospectively observe patients with PD before and after initiation of MC, for non-motor symptoms effect. In specific, relying of data from multiple sclerosis patients and basic science showing cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) is abundantly expressed in the sub epithelial layer of the bladder, we will explore the impact of MC on bladder function and urinary symptoms.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Change in Non-motor symptoms scale (NMSS)

    NMSS will be assessed before and after medical cannabis use, range 0-360, higher scores mean a worse outcome

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation

  • Change in Bladder over activity symptoms

    Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) questionnaires will be assessed before and after medical cannabis use, range 0-15, higher scores mean a worse outcome

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Change in sleep quality

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation

  • Change in subjective Pain

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation

  • Change in Quality of life

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation

  • Cannabis strand analysis

    4-8 weeks following treatment initiation

  • Change in International prostate symptom score (IPSS)

    before and 4-8 weeks after treatment initiation
