Abstract
Pain is the most common and most debilitating aspect of chronic pancreatitis and is difficult to treat.1-3 Clinical management of painful chronic pancreatitis includes abstinence from alcohol and tobacco products, analgesic medications (including opioids), antidepressant medications, and pancreatic enzyme replacement.4-8 Medical cannabis has been proposed as a therapy for chronic pain and has shown some efficacy in neuropathic and cancer pain. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of medical cannabis on pain control for chronic pancreatitis.Entities:
