Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological condition that causes involuntary shaking. They commonly affect the hands but also the head, voice, and other parts of the body. While it is not life-threatening, it can impact daily activities such as writing, eating, and speaking.
Many Louisiana patients with essential tremors struggle to find effective treatments, as conventional medications do not always provide enough relief.
Louisiana’s medical cannabis program allows patients with conditions like essential tremors to explore alternative options under the guidance of a licensed physician.
Living with essential tremors can be challenging. The condition worsens over time and can interfere with basic tasks.
Patients often experience:
For many, traditional medications such as beta-blockers and anticonvulsants offer minimal relief. In severe cases, invasive treatments like deep brain stimulation (DBS) may be considered. But they don’t always bring relief patients need, and treatment can be costly.
Tremor patients turn to medical marijuana because it’s more affordable and it can help manage their symptoms without the side effects from traditional pharmaceuticals.

Early findings show that CBD’s anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties may help reduce tremors by lowering inflammation and oxidative stress.
The study also indicates that combining CBD with THC could enhance therapeutic effects, as seen with synthetic THC Dronabinol.
