Scientific Analysis: Relief for Various Types of Pain (Medicinal Cannabis)
- One of the known side effects of medical cannabis is pain relief
- Does medical marijuana work against all types of pain or just some? We'll explore that in today's article
Medical cannabis is well-known for its analgesic (pain-relieving) effects. However, there are many types of pain with diverse origins. Selecting the right strain, dosage, and method of administering medical cannabis can be quite tricky for many patients. We now know that different cannabinoids (THC & CBD) work differently on various types of pain. Knowledge about which cannabinoids affect which types of pain is crucial for patients when selecting the right strain.
Types of Pain and Their Treatment
All types of pain fall into three general categories:
- Nociceptive Pain
- Neuropathic Pain
- Central Pain (researchers have not yet agreed on a universal term for this pain; it occurs, for example, in fibromyalgia)
An optimal treatment strategy must be chosen to treat pain, as each type of pain has its own cause and origin.
