Prevalence and Effect of Cannabinoids in Pain Management for Hand Pathologies
Approximately 15% of new urban hand patients use cannabinoids for pain control, and these compounds have similar analgesic efficacy in hand pathologies as Rx/OTC medications. Cannabinoids are equally liked or preferred relative to traditional medications in this cohort, and they may play an important role in pain management for hand patients.
