Uri Kramer, MD: Treating Epilepsy With Cannabis
Pubblicato il 7 gen 2019
At the American Epilepsy Society’s (AES) annual meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, a main topic of conversation was the new therapies that have emerged from the pipeline—specifically, the cannabinoids.
For Uri Kramer, MD, the former director of the Pediatric Epilepsy Service at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, this was not necessarily an option several years ago. Although, as more research has emerged over the past few years, he has flipped his opinion. Coupled with the recent FDA approval of GW Pharmaceuticals’ cannabidiol (Epidiolex), it appears that this treatment option is only going to continue to evolve.
Currently, the debate surrounding the use of cannabis for epilepsy is mainly about the types that should be therapeutically utilized. To explain further what has been fleshed out by the research and to share his opinion on cannabidiol’s use, the professor of pediatrics at Tel Aviv University sat with NeurologyLive on site

Uri Kramer, MD: Treating Epilepsy With Cannabis
The professor of pediatrics at Tel Aviv University explained what has been fleshed out by the research and shared his opinion on cannabidiol’s use.


“Should it be single molecule like CBD, or should it be CBD combined with THC—like what most people are using and what we’re using in Tel Aviv—or should it be some other combination?”

Uri Kramer, MD: Trattare l'epilessia con la cannabis

Il professore di pediatria presso l'Università di Tel Aviv ha spiegato ciò che è stato concretizzato dalla ricerca e ha condiviso la sua opinione sull'uso del cannabidiolo.


"Dovrebbe essere una singola molecola come il CBD, o dovrebbe essere CBD combinata con il THC, come quello che la maggior parte delle persone usa e ciò che stiamo usando a Tel Aviv, o dovrebbe essere un'altra combinazione?"
All'incontro annuale dell'American Epilepsy Society (AES) a New Orleans, Louisiana, un argomento principale di conversazione sono state le nuove terapie emerse dalla pipeline, in particolare i cannabinoidi.

Per Uri Kramer, MD, l'ex direttore del servizio di epilessia pediatrica presso il Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, questa non era necessariamente un'opzione diversi anni fa. Anche se, come ulteriori ricerche sono emerse nel corso degli ultimi anni, ha capovolto la sua opinione. Accoppiato con la recente approvazione FDA del cannabidiolo di GW Pharmaceuticals (Epidiolex), sembra che questa opzione di trattamento è solo andando a continuare ad evolvere.

Attualmente, il dibattito sull'uso della cannabis per l'epilessia riguarda principalmente i tipi che dovrebbero essere utilizzati terapeuticamente. Per spiegare ulteriormente ciò che è stato concretizzato dalla ricerca e per condividere la sua opinione sull'uso del cannabidiolo, il professore di pediatria presso l'Università di Tel Aviv sedeva con NeurologyLive sul posto.
