Revista Alergia Mexico : Organo Oficial de la Sociedad Mexicana de Alergia e Inmunología, A.C 2024 Februrary 2
OBJECTIVE: To relate the topical use of cannabis as an analgesic therapeutic alternative in patients with some inflammatory diseases in Salud Social I.P.S during May to July 2023.
METHODS: An analytical, retrospective study was carried out. The population from which the sample was obtained corresponds to patients diagnosed with Arthrosis, Unspecified, Non-Toxic Multinodular Goiter, Epilepsy, Unspecified Type Venous Insufficiency (Chronic) (Peripheral), Unspecified Lumbago, Secondary Gonarthrosis, Rotator Cuff Syndrome, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, in Salud Social I.P.S of Barranquilla, Atlántico. A sample of 23 patients diagnosed with these pathologies was obtained by non-probabilistic convenience sampling.
RESULTS: All patients showed pain relief after two months of follow-up, two experienced adverse effects. Some studies suggest that cannabinoids present in cannabis, such as CBD and THC, may have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties that could alleviate pain and inflammation associated with these conditions. This is consistent with the present study.
CONCLUSION: Topical cannabis is presented as a therapeutic alternative in inflammatory diseases, however, it is important to highlight that research on the use of cannabis in these diseases is limited and more studies are needed to fully understand its effects and potential benefits.
