Machine-learning of medical cannabis chemical profiles reveals analgesia beyond placebo expectations

This study found that the chemical composition of medical cannabis, particularly the levels of specific terpenoids, can predict pain relief in chronic pain patients. Surprisingly, well-known cannabinoids like THC and CBD were less predictive of treatment outcomes. These findings suggest that lesser-known cannabis compounds may play a more significant role in pain management than previously thought.

It highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to CNCP management that goes beyond simply escalating opioid doses.
