EFFECT OF MARIJUANA USE FOR PAIN RELIEF IN PATIENTS WITH FIBROMYALGIA
Description
There are only a few studies in the literature on the use of cannabis by fibromyalgia patients. Herbal cannabis or marijuana has been used for the treatment of pain for centuries. This is noteworthy that in recent times its use has been mostly outside traditional medicine. In this study, we audit and conducted a review of the studies and patients with confirmed history of fibromyalgia and the effects of marijuana (Medical Cannabis-MC) for the pain relief, was documented and discussed. Despite lingering controversy, the use of botanical cannabis for medicinal purposes represents the revival of a plant with historical significance reemerging in present day health care. MC appears to be a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of fibromyalgia symptoms.
