ABSTRACT

Years of experience and multiple cohort studies suggest the efficacy of medical cannabis (MC) to relieve chronic pain. The clinical experience has not been linked with scientific evidence. In countries where CM has been legalized, guidelines based on consensus have been developed that provide the clinician with the minimum essential knowledge to respond to the needs of his or her patients. This review provides basic aspects of patient and product selection of MC for the pain specialist.



RESUMEN

Años de experiencia y multitud de estudios observacionales proponen la eficacia del cannabis medicinal (CM) para aliviar el dolor. La experiencia clínica no se ha podido correlacionar con la evidencia científica. De los países donde el CM se ha legalizado provienen guías basadas en consensos que proporcionan al clínico interesado un conocimiento mínimo esencial para responder a las necesidades de sus pacientes. Esta revisión proporciona aspectos básicos de la selección de pacientes y productos del CM para el especialista en dolor.
