Meet Carol. She’s been struggling with uncontrolled pain for years – primarily in her hands. We started her on a topical cannabis cream about half a year ago and she is seeing great improvement–not only in her pain, but also her sleep, which was disrupted for years due to the unbearable pain.
Clinically, we’re seeing this a lot amongst our patients. Topicals can be a great way for prescribers and patients alike to dip their toe in the water with cannabinoid medicine – with no impairment to the user. They can be used on their own – or as an adjunct therapy when more pain control is needed. There are new formulations coming out all the time and they’re becoming increasingly more effective.
