Results:

  • Higher change in SGIC for global impression and better change assessed by physician in 'general functional ability' of Sativex arm compared to placebo arm
  • Scores in SGIC better in Sativex arm at week 3 (p = 0.041), 5 (p = 0.022) and last visit (p = 0.022)
  • PGIC better at week 5 (p=0.037) compared to placebo arm
