A study by Australian researchers suggests that medical cannabis can significantly improve the quality of life for people with various health conditions, especially chronic pain. The study, involving over 3,000 patients, found notable improvements in pain management, social and emotional well-being, and other health indicators after starting medical cannabis treatment. While mild side effects like sleepiness and dry mouth were common, the benefits were sustained over time.
Lead author Dr. Thomas Arkell emphasised that, while clinical evidence is still developing, this study shows meaningful improvements in daily life and well-being. Chronic pain affects one in five Australians over 45, and medical cannabis could offer relief. Since its legalisation in 2016, the number of approvals for medical cannabis prescriptions has rapidly increased, with chronic pain being the most common reason for use.
The research, conducted at Emerald Clinics, highlights the potential of medicinal cannabis in managing chronic pain, anxiety, insomnia, and other conditions, with more large-scale studies needed to convince the medical community of its effectiveness. 👉 Read the full story: https://www.9news.com.au/national/medical-cannabis-may-improve-patients-quality-of-life/1bca843d-c839-4118-ad0f-1975bf50d093 #MedicalCannabis #ChronicPain #CannabisResearch #PainManagement #HealthWellbeing #AustraliaStudy #PatientCare #Cannabinoids #MentalHealth #CannabisTherapy #SleepDisorders #AnxietyRelief #EmeraldClinics #HealthInnovation #CannabisTreatment #ChronicPainRelief #PainRelief #CannabisClubAustralia
