Summary
Seeking for effective therapeutic strategies, the investigators are proposing to test the
effectiveness of different formulations of medical cannabis oil to alleviate chronic pain,
which was partially relieved with conventional prescriptions. Furthermore, the investigators
would like to assess the effect of different formulations of medical cannabis oil on other
symptoms associated to chronic pain like anxiety and depression, as well as insomnia and
appetite. Finally, as recently recommended for clinical studies on medical cannabis, the
investigators will examine the safety profile of different cannabis formulations focusing on
the following elements: a real chronic administration with more than two weeks of treatment,
a larger number of patients, and the clinical relevance of medical cannabis oil to change the
amount and type of concomitant medications used to control chronic non-cancer and cancer
pain.
