Medical Cannabis for Dystonia — Switzerland 2026
Cervical dystonia / blepharospasm often respond only partially to Botox. Cannabinoids are a documented add-on option — cheaper for members.
Dystonia (cervical dystonia, blepharospasm) affects ~4,000 people in Switzerland. Botulinum toxin is first-line but inconsistent. Cannabinoids modulate basal ganglia activity via CB1, reducing contractions and pain. Chatterjee 2002 & Uribe Roca 2005: documented improvements. CannabisClub members: 50 CHF flat instead of 190.
What the studies show
Chatterjee 2002 (case): nabilone 0.03 mg/kg significantly reduced cervical dystonia.
Uribe Roca 2005 (series): CBD 100–600 mg reduced dystonic movements by 20–50 %.
Preparations & dosing
CBD oil 100–300 mg daily — base, well tolerated, no sedation.
THC 2.5–5 mg evenings for associated sleep disturbance and pain.
