Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, observational study designed to describe the effects of Cannabis on Parkinson's Disease tremor.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ten individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) and tremor who use Cannabis were observed for two weeks. Individuals were asked to keep a journal of Cannabis use (form, delivery method, amount) and wear an accelerometer on the wrist with the dominant tremor. Analyses will be performed to describe whether Cannabis use affects PD tremor following use.
