Advances in the management of multiple sclerosis spasticity: multiple sclerosis spasticity nervous pathways.

“Involvement of the endocannabinoid system in pathophysiological mechanisms responsible for spasticity has been demonstrated in animal models of MS…

Evidence indicates that the antispasticity effects of THC:CBD oromucosal spray (Sativex®) are associated with enhanced cortical long-term potentiation.

CB1 receptors, which are associated with movement, postural control, and pain and sensory perception, influence glutamatergic pathways.

THC:CBD oromucosal spray was shown to reverse motor cortex plasticity from long-term depression through long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission, thereby restoring, at least in part, effective corticospinal inputs to spinal circuits.”
