Paediatric
The aim of paediatric care is to treat and manage the symptoms of acutely ill young people and children suffering with a number of complex conditions. Medical cannabis can be a safe and effective option even for children.
Common conditions
- Rare and chronic epileptic disorders
- Behavioural issues
- Anxiety and depression disorders
- Chronic pain
- Gastroenterological conditions
Typical symptoms
Depending on the condition, you may suffer from:
- Seizures
- Developmental issues
- Stress and anxiety
- Speech or memory loss
Treatment
Severe epilepsy is the most commonly-used case study for the efficacy of medical cannabis. Certain childhood syndromes such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which typically don’t respond to antiseizure medications, are treated successfully with medicinal cannabis. Psychiatric and gastroenterological conditions have also shown positive improvements to cannabinoid therapies.
We typically prescribe low, precise dosages to ensure the safety of our younger patients with in-depth reviews of medication adjustments.
The Medical Cannabis Clinics offer treatment plans and care for paediatric patients through online video link consultations with our expert specialist doctors, who can guide you through treatment options. Appointments start from only £150.
