| الوصف: | This study sought to identify differences in cannabis use and perceptions about cannabis in mitigating seizure-related symptoms in patients with epilepsy, and to evaluate differences in these patterns between drug-resistant versus pharmacoresponsive epilepsy. A collection of self-report surveys completed by patients with epilepsy (n = 76) were used to retrospectively compare differences in those with drug-resistant versus pharmacoresponsive epilepsy regarding 1) proportion who used cannabis, 2) frequency of use, 3) method of use, and 4) reason for use. A Cochran-Armitage test for trend indicated that of patients who used cannabis, a higher proportion of patients in the drug-resistant group used more frequently than in the pharmacoresponsive group. Almost half (48%) of those in the drug-resistant group reported daily use compared to approximately a third (36%) of those in the pharmacoresponsive group. Additionally, no patient in either group reported that cannabis was harmful in relation to seizure-related symptoms. Results from this study highlight the need for epilepsy providers to formally assess patients' perceptions and use of non-prescribed cannabis to inform clinical care decisions, particularly in the drug-resistant epilepsy population. |
