Researchers Look to CBD and THC for the Treatment of Chronic Pain

Efficacy and safety of cannabidiol followed by an open-label add-on of tetrahydrocannabinol for the treatment of chronic pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis: protocol for a multicentre, randomized, placebo-controlled study

Current researchers have proposed a study protocol that would expose any possible benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) for the treatment of chronic pain in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This new study hopes to identify how medical cannabis affects pain and cognitive function in RA and AS and provide evidence that cannabis-based pain medication is an alternative to opioids with fewer risks.
