THC in cannabis may reduce nightmares in people with PTSD
The main psychoactive component of cannabis seems to reduce persistent and distressing nightmares in people with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
AI Summary
A study found that dronabinol, a purified THC oil derived from cannabis, was more than twice as likely than a placebo to achieve complete cessation of nightmares in people with post‑traumatic stress disorder. Researchers suggest THC may suppress the sleep stage in which vivid dreams occur, though the mechanism remains unclear.
