Chronic Pain

Summary:

CBD displays anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Both inflammation and oxidative stress are linked to the development and progression of various movement disorders.

Based on a large survey study of over 2400 respondents of CBD, the most common reason for using CBD is for chronic pain as well as for arthritis/joint discomfort.

There are close to 20 ongoing trails of cannabinoids and different types of pain. These include studies of pain related to cancer, musculoskeletal issues, neuropathic pain, and conditions associated with pain. (Such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Parkinson’s disease)

Some of these studies are interested in the aspect of combining cannabinoids with a pain medication regimen and having more affective pain control management
