Review Suggests Cannabis-Based Treatments May Help Relieve Urinary Incontinence

A comprehensive review of 12 studies indicates that cannabis-based treatments show promise in alleviating urinary symptoms, particularly in patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic bladder dysfunction. Neurogenic bladder, often associated with spinal cord injuries and MS, affects the bladder's ability to store and empty urine properly. These findings suggest cannabinoids may offer therapeutic potential for individuals who have limited treatment options. However, researchers emphasize that more rigorous clinical trials are needed to establish optimal dosing, long-term safety, and efficacy before widespread medical recommendation.
