The study was conducted in New York and Florida by researchers from NYU Langone Health. The research focused primarily on the efficacy and safety of a new CBD product in managing postoperative pain in patients who have undergone shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The product, named ORAVEXX, takes the form of an oral tablet containing CBD. The tablet was tested in a clinical trial with 99 participants, aged from 18 years old to 75 years old. All of the patients just went through shoulder surgery. Half of the group was treated with CBD while the other half received a placebo. The pain was measured using a standardized tool called the visual analog scale (VAS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They showed that patients who received the treatment with CBD experienced 23% less pain than those who took the placebo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Between 22% and 25% of patients who received the CBD treatment experienced better pain management than those in the placebo group. Half of the patients in the group consumed 50 mg of CBD while the other half consumed 25 mg. The half who received 50mg of CBD said they were \u201cmore satisfied with pain control\u201d than the half who received 25mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is an urgent need for viable alternatives for pain management, and our study presents this form of CBD as a promising tool after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. It could be a new, inexpensive approach to pain relief, without the side effects of anti-inflammatories and the addictive risks of opiates. Additionally, CBD has the benefit of providing pain relief without the mind-altering effects associated with THC or marijuana,\u201d said Michael J. Alaia, one of the trial investigators and associate professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further research is necessary to evaluate the effects of administering CBD to control postoperative pain in patients and to evaluate the effectiveness of CBD in comparison with opioid therapy. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" American researchers have recently begun to study the potential of cannabis as an alternative treatment to opioids for pain management.
