Context: En las palmas de las manos sigue siendo de ***uso compasivo*** y hay que solicitar permiso al Ministerio, que lo suele conceder sin problemas.
I've found a translation as "compassionate use" and am perfectly willing to go with that except it sounds a bit overly dramatic to me, as though the patient will suffer incredibly or die without being allowed to use this drug, which is hardly the case here. Would "off-licence use" be an acceptable alternative?

restricted use
I think your translation "compassionate use" is fine, because it refers to a legislation term.
This would be more colloquial
