Prevalence of Cannabidiol (CBD) Use in an Outpatient Hand Surgery Clinic
In this cohort, CBD use was uncommon, and only a minority of users reported subjective benefit. CBD users tended to report higher pain and worse function, particularly in the setting of wrist arthritis. CBD products did not appear to provide measurable objective improvement in pain or function. Further studies are needed to clarify optimal dosing, administration, and potential role in upper extremity care.
