Explore the emerging science behind cannabinoid therapeutics and their potential role in supporting comfort, sleep, mood, pain management and quality of life for people living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
This self-paced, CEU-eligible mini-module empowers nurses, clinicians, caregivers and families to understand how cannabinoid therapeutics may safely complement conventional dementia care and support comfort, symptom management and quality of life.
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.
