Cannabinoids in Pain Treatment: An Overview

Abstract: The current landscape contains conflicting reports regarding the use of medical marijuana, creating fields of misinformation and lack of understanding by healthcare providers about cannabinoids. In this article we will provide a dispassionate look at medical marijuana, while providing a clinical overview focusing on pain management. We will examine the mechanisms of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), along with the pharmacology of cannabinoids. Current research on the use of marijuana for the treatment of pain … Show more

“…(35) The main components of the ECS are as follows: two "classical" endocannabinoid ligands, namely N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), and "classical" cannabinoid receptors, namely type 1 (CB1) and type 2 (CB2). (35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44) Besides the CNS, CB1 and CB2 have also been discovered in the immune system (45)(46)(47) and MSCs and participate in their regenerative and immunomodulatory processes. (48,49) Studies on the role of the ECS in MSCs have been scarce.…”

“…The ECS consists of a family of receptors, endogenous ligands, and the molecular machinery for their synthesis, being best described in the central nervous system (CNS) [35]. Its main components are: the two "classical" endocannabinoid ligands, N-arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide; AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG); and the also "classical" CB1 and CB2 [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Outside of the CNS, CB1 and CB2 have been identi ed in the immune system [45][46][47] as well as in MSC and theirs regenerative and immunomodulatory processes [48][49].…”

“…Desprovido de atividade psicotrópica, o canabidiol tem ação anti-inflamatória, antioxidante e neuroprotetora. Embora o THC e CBD sejam fitocanabinoides mais estudados, existem outras moléculas como canabivarim, canabigerol que vem sendo estudados as propriedades farmacológicas (5)(6)(7) .…”
