GARCIA-HENARES, JF e DE SANTIAGO-MORAGA, J. Current evidence of medical cannabis treatment in patients with chronic pain. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2022, vol.29, suppl.1, pp.10-13. Epub 28-Nov-2022. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.20986/resed.2022.4024/2022.
Medical cannabis has been promoted by the media and by public opinion. The cannabis herb and cannabis-based medicines have bypassed traditional evidence-based studies, and have been legalized in many countries without going through the usual path of drug approval. The medical community must be aware of the current evidence in this regard in order to appropriately advise patients. This review will explain the current status of the evidence, the obstacles encountered to obtain evidence, and the positions of the respective pain societies regarding the use of medicinal cannabis for the treatment of pain.
