Risk of Cannabis Use Disorder in Chronic Pain: Longitudinal Links to Pain Outcomes
A significant portion of individuals with chronic pain who use cannabis may be at risk for CUD. Although higher CUD risk was not associated with worsening pain outcomes over 2 years compared to nonusers, its connection to worse mental health and pain symptoms at baseline highlights the need for targeted CUD risk assessments, patient education on CUD risk, and integrated care with mental health support in chronic pain management.
