The extract, dronabinol, significantly lowered pain intensity, while pain relief was higher during treatment with the drug than during placebo treatment. Pain caused by physical pressure decreased, and patients reported a better quality of life with dronabinol than with placebo medication. The study involved 24 patients with multiple sclerosis in a hospital clinic in Denmark.
