Event Overview:

Chronic Pain affects 20% of our world’s population and has physical and psychological generators. According to a landmark report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, “There is conclusive or substantial evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective for the treatment of chronic pain in adults.” Multiple cannabinoids have been researched for different types of pain and can be used as an option to help reduce opioid dependence. Understanding the endocannabinoid system can also aid in the treatment and prevention of chronic pain.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand the types of chronic pain and which cannabinoids, routes and doses are the most effective in clinical practice
• Review the current evidence of cannabis and chronic pain including central sensitization, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain
• Discuss how to optimize the endocannabinoid system to prevent chronic pain
