Summary
In this chapter we will review selected preclinical and clinical studies that may lead to future development of cannabinoids as treatment for pain conditions. Although there are other therapeutic areas where cannabinoids potentially might one day be used, currently the only approvals of cannabinoid-based products have been medications that influence the central nervous system (CNS). Earlier we reviewed in Chapter 4 approvals for cannabinoid-based medicines from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Canada Health and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) as well as other countries for indications that include pain.
