CBD Oil for pain in India comes in varied strengths and is used by people in varied ways as well. Hence, it is advisable to discuss with a specialist doctor before using CBD oil for pain. Derived from the cannabis plant, CBD oil is reported to have been used with some success for relief not just from pain but also from anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders.

For years there has been limited evidence from human studies to support the benefits of CBD oil for pain. That was because there were restrictions in place on the use of and research on cannabis. With cannabis becoming legalized in various parts of the world, medical research studies are gaining more traction, many of which have shown some promising results.

HOW CBD OIL FOR PAIN RELIEF HELPS?

A study by the National Centers for Complementary & Integrative Health ...
... (NCCIH) reveals there is concrete evidence that CBD or Cannabis provides modest benefits for chronic pain.

Based on existing studies there is evidence that CBD Oil for pain works for

CHRONIC PAIN

A few years ago, some medical researchers studied the impact of CBD Oil on chronic pain. After several trials and studies, the researchers arrived at the conclusion that there exists enough evidence to prove that CBD oil if effectively applied and used can be an effective treatment for chronic pain in adults.

This was corroborated by a separate study report in the ‘Journal of Experimental Medicine’, which revealed that CBD oil indeed can reduce pain and inflammation. The study also reveals that patients who were administered CBD oil were not likely to build up a tolerance level to the side-effects of CBD Oil which means they did not need to enhance their CBD oil dosage over time.

The study further revealed that Cannabinoids like CBD Oil can provide new treatment scopes for people who suffer from chronic pain.

NEUROPATHIC PAIN

This pain is caused by damage to the nerves, and is said to be common in diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, etc, and injuries like herniated discs and infections like Shingles.

A 2017 medical study concluded that CBD Oil helped relieve chronic neuropathy pain in humans. However, more such research is said to be needed to understand how CBD oil can help in chronic neuropathic pain management, including benefits, risks, and ideal dosages of consumption.

ARTHRITIS PAIN

Arthritis encompasses hundreds of joint-related conditions and pains. Some common symptoms of it include pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints that can progress over time.

A 2016 study that was disclosed in the European Journal of Pain said that CBD Oil was tested on people with arthritis to find out if it could help manage pain. Researchers are said to have noticed a significant decline in inflammation and signs of pain without any kind of side-effects.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Also called MS, Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that afflicts the entire body through the brain and nerves. Among its most common symptoms is Muscle Spasms which can at times be strong enough to cause constant pain in some people.

A medical study conducted some years back found that CBD Oil can reduce the levels of muscle spasms by reducing the impact of symptoms.

JOINT PAIN

Caused by Rheumatoid Arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints and other affected areas, joint pain is among the leading pain problems afflicting scores of people around the world.

In 2018, medical researchers tested the efficacy and effect of topical CBD gel on some participants with osteoarthritis-related knee pain, for a period of 12 weeks. During the test session, some participants are said to have used 250 milligrams or 500 milligrams split into two applications, daily.

What happened as a result is that some participants’ weekly pain levels did not exactly improve to the extent with CBD oil when compared to placebo participants. However, researchers at the Western Ontario & McMaster Universities evaluated the average weekly worst pain scores later, and found that participants who used 250 milligrams of CBD oil daily began to subsequently experience significant drops in pain level and improvement in pain relief when compared to placebo participants.

A 2019 study later revealed that a mix of CBD oil and THC can provide immense relief to patients with fibromyalgia, a type of joint arthritis that causes whole-body pain and fatigue. The study concluded that just a single inhalation of a CBD oil and THC can produce better results when compared to a placebo solution and also either substance on its own.

HOW CBD OIL CAN BE USED TO MANAGE PAIN?

CBD Oil can be used to manage pain through proper dosage.

But the problem is that no proper dosage has been listed to date anywhere in the world. Even the U.S’s FDA does not regulate CBD oil intake for most conditions. As a result, dosages currently are being interpreted by people in the way they like.

That can be dangerous for people who need to consume CBD oil with caution. To remain on the safe side, those who wish to use CBD oil must first speak to a specialist doctor about whether its intake is beneficial and safe for their medical condition, and if so, how much of it must be taken.

Meanwhile, FDA is said to have approved a purified form of CBD oil for certain categories of epilepsy, under a brand name called ‘EPIDIOLEX’. It has been advised that those who wish to take it must first consult a specialist doctor and follow his/her advice about dosages.
