36 Adverse events 288 (32.1%) of the responders reported experiencing any adverse event due to cannabis use. 45 (5%) stopped the treatment due to adverse events.

37 Fibromyalgia 367 fibromyalgia treated with cannabis between 2015 and Main outcome: Treatment response which was defined as at least moderate or significant improvement in the patient condition at six months follow-up and no cessation of treatment or serious side effects

38 Fibromyalgia Mean age was 52.9±15.1, 301 (82.0%) were women. 28 patients (7.6%) stopped the treatment prior to the six months follow-up. Pain intensity (scale 0-10) reduced from a median of 9.0 at baseline to 5.0 (p<0.001), and 194 patients (81.1%) achieved treatment response. In a multivariate analysis age above 60 years (OR 0.34, 95% C.I ), concerns about cannabis treatment (OR 0.36, 95% C.I ), spasticity (OR 2.26, 95% C.I ) and previous use of cannabis (OR % C.I ) were associated with treatment outcome. The most common adverse effects were mild and included dizziness (7.9%), dry mouth (6.7%) and gastrointestinal symptoms (5.4%).

39 Autism We analyzed the data of 188 ASD patients treated with medical cannabis between 2015 and Results: The average age was 12.9±7.0 years (82.8% under the age of 18), 81.9% boys and 14.4% of the patients reported comorbidity of epilepsy. The main symptoms were: restlessness (90.4%), rage attacks (79.8%) and agitation (78.7%).

40 Autism After six months of follow up, 23 patients (12.2%) stopped the treatment. 30.1% reported significant improvement, 53.7% reported moderate improvement and 6.4% reported only slight improvement, 8.6% reported no change in their condition. Twenty-three patients (25.2%) reported experiencing at least on side effect; the most common was restlessness (6, 6.6%).

42 What did we learn? Our population is really sick Less than 25% had previous experience with cannabis Cannabis treatment is safe It is efficacious (pain, quality of life)* Inherent limitations of the observational studies Limited idea what actually was taken by the patient and how it worked
