Beneficios y efectos adversos en el uso del cannabis como tratamiento para pacientes que sufren enfermedades neurodegenerativas como Alzheimer y Parkinson revisión sistemática
(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025) Vallejo Freire, Daniela Estefania; Rojas Barreto, Julian Alonso (Director)
This systematic review analyzes the use of cannabinoids, particularly cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease. Selected studies report neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory effects and improvements in patients' quality of life, especially in symptoms such as pain and muscle stiffness. Despite the observed benefits, adverse effects such as fatigue, dizziness and, in some cases, mild cognitive impairment associated with THC were identified. The results suggest that cannabinoids offer promising therapeutic potential, but further research is required to establish appropriate dosing protocols and better understand their long-term effects.
