CANNABINOID HEALTH UPDATE ;-) [From Lina Gosselin - CCN- Creative Consumer Network, launching January 1, 2015 ] Great article how cannaibinoids resolve Fibromyalgia pain issues ... 1. Introduction Chronic pain is common, debilitating with too few effective therapeutic options. Cannabinoids represent a rela tively new pharmacological option as part of a multimodel treatment plan. With incr easing knowledge of the endocannabinoid system [1-3] and compelling preclinical work supporting that cannabinoid agoni sts are analgesic [4, 5] there is increasing attention on their potential role in the management of pain [6-9]. A previous systematic review done a decade a go identified the need for further randomized controlled trials (RCTs) ev aluating cannabinoids in mana gement of chronic pain indicating that there was insufficient eviden ce to introduce cannabinoids into widespread use for pain at that time [10]. A subseque nt review identified a moderately analgesic effect but indicated this may be offset by potentially seriou s harms [11]. This conclusion of serious harms mentioned in the more recent review is not consiste nt with our clinical experience. In addition there have been a number of additional RCTs published since this review. We therefore conducte d an updated systematic review examining RCTs of cannabinoids in management of chronic pain.
