flag A cannabis tincture reduced back pain 30% over six months, outperforming opioids and placebos, with promising results pending U.S. trial replication.

flag Two European studies published in Nature Medicine suggest a cannabis tincture containing THC, CBD, and other compounds provided better back pain relief than a placebo and outperformed opioids over six months with fewer gastrointestinal side effects. flag The treatment, VER-01, led to a 30% average pain reduction after 12 weeks, compared to 20% with placebo, with about seven patients needing treatment for one to benefit. flag Though limited by lack of blinding and small sample sizes, experts call the results promising and reflective of real-world use, noting cannabis showed no dependency or withdrawal and allowed normal functioning. flag The product is expected to gain approval in several European countries, but U.S. FDA approval is pending replication in American trials, delaying availability for years.
