Cannabis extract reduces seizures in child epilepsy: Study
Cannabis extract cannabidiol reduces the number of drug-resistant seizures affecting children with a rare type of epilepsy known as Dravet syndrome, according to a recent study. Seizure frequency in 120 patients aged 2-18 years was found to drop by 39% with three patients' seizures stopping entirely. However, 93% cases experienced side effects like vomiting, fatigue, and fever, researchers said.
