Cannabinoids as Pharmacotherapies for Neuropathic Pain: From the Bench to the Bedside
Neurotherapeutics, 10/05/09
Rahn EJ et al. – In humans, effects of smoked marijuana, synthetic delta9–THC analogs (e.g., Marinol, Cesamet) and medicinal cannabis preparations containing both delta9–THC and cannabidiol (e.g., Sativex, Cannador) in neuropathic pain states are reviewed. Clinical studies largely affirm that neuropathic pain patients derive benefits from cannabinoid treatment. Subjective (i.e., rating scales) and objective (i.e., stimulus–evoked) measures of pain and quality of life are considered. Finally, limitations of cannabinoid pharmacotherapies are discussed together with directions for future research.
