Why Cannabinoid Therapeutics in Dementia Care?

Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can affect far more than memory. Agitation, anxiety, sleep disruption, chronic pain, appetite changes and behavioral symptoms can significantly affect comfort, independence and caregiver well-being.

This course explores the emerging science behind the endocannabinoid system and the potential role of CBD, THC and other cannabinoids in symptom-focused dementia care, with emphasis on conservative dosing, medication interactions, fall risk, cognitive changes and appropriate clinical oversight

Cannabinoid therapeutics are not a cure for Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. Instead, this program examines how they may fit within an individualized, integrative approach focused on comfort, safety and quality of life.
