Abstract(s)
O consumo de canábis tem vindo a crescer exponencialmente, sendo a substância ilícita
mais consumida a nível mundial. Além do uso recreativo, verifica-se um interesse crescente
nas suas propriedades terapêuticas. Em Portugal foi, nesse sentido, legalizada e
regulamentada a utilização da canábis para fins medicinais, sendo definida uma lista de
indicações terapêuticas específicas para essa utilização.
O consumo de canábis tem sido associado a efeitos ao nível do sono e, frequentemente, esta
é usada empiricamente a fim de melhorar a qualidade do mesmo. Ainda assim, as
perturbações do sono não integram a referida lista de indicações terapêuticas.
Com base nestas observações, reconhecendo a elevada prevalência das perturbações do
sono na população geral e identificando a necessidade de aprimorar o seu controlo,
considera-se que compreender a relação entre a canábis e o sono é extremamente
pertinente, podendo passar por aí o estabelecimento de medidas que contribuam para a
melhoria da qualidade do sono e para o tratamento de perturbações específicas.
Esta monografia tem, portanto, como objetivo clarificar a natureza da relação entre a
canábis e o sono, esclarecendo o papel da canábis e dos seus constituintes na sua qualidade
e arquitetura e avaliando a sua possível aplicabilidade em perturbações específicas do sono.
Reunir-se-á, para isso, informação atualizada sobre o tema, através de uma pesquisa
exaustiva em bases de dados e da seleção de estudos relevantes.
Cannabis consumption has been growing exponentially, being the most widely used illicit substance worldwide. In addition to recreational use, there is a growing interest in its therapeutic properties. In Portugal, the use of cannabis for medical purposes was legalized and regulated, and a list of specific therapeutic indications for that use was defined. Cannabis use has been associated with effects on sleep and it’s often used empirically to improve sleep quality. Even so, sleep disorders are not included in the list of therapeutic indications. Based on these observations, recognizing the high prevalence of sleep disorders in general population and identifying the need to improve their control, it is considered that understanding the relationship between cannabis and sleep is extremely relevant for the establishment of actions that contribute to the improvement of sleep quality and the treatment of specific disorders. This study, therefore, aims to clarify the nature of the relationship between cannabis and sleep, clarifying the role of cannabis and its constituents in its quality and architecture and evaluating its possible applicability in specific sleep disorders. For this purpose, updated information on the topic will be gathered, through an exhaustive search in databases and the selection of relevant studies.
