CBD Oil for Postoperative Pain
(CBDS Trial)
Trial Summary
Do I need to stop my current medications for the CBD oil trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
How is CBD Oil different from other drugs for postoperative pain?
CBD Oil is unique because it is derived from the cannabis plant and may offer pain relief through its interaction with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is different from traditional pain medications like opioids or gabapentinoids that target different pathways. Additionally, CBD Oil is often administered orally or sublingually (under the tongue), which can be more convenient than intravenous or injectable pain medications.12345
