The study was set up to test the theory that cannabis and cannabinoids reduce muscle stiffness and may help alleviate other MS-related symptoms.

It involved 630 multiple sclerosis patients from around Britain. One-third received a capsule containing whole cannabis oil; another third took one containing a synthetic version of a cannabinoid known as tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. The rest got a fake capsule. Results were reported after 15 weeks of treatment.

"The stiffness as you move the limb on the bed and measure it carefully does not pick up a difference," said one researcher, Dr. Alan Thompson. "But when you look at the impact that (muscle stiffness) has on everyday life ? on what the patient feels ? then there is a difference."

Fifty-seven percent of the patients taking the whole cannabis extract said their pain had eased, compared with 50 percent on THC and 37 percent on dummy capsules.

For muscle stiffness, 61 percent on cannabis extract and 60 percent on THC reported an improvement, compared with 46 percent on fake treatment.

Patients reported improved sleep and fewer or less intense muscle spasms. Those who could walk showed improved walking ability.
