Efficacy of two cannabis based medicinal extracts for relief of central neuropathic pain from brachial plexus avulsion: results of a randomised controlled trial
JS Berman, C Symonds, R Birch - Pain, 2004 - Elsevier
The objective was to investigate the effectiveness of cannabis-based medicines for
treatment of chronic pain associated with brachial plexus root avulsion. This condition is an
excellent human model of central neuropathic pain as it represents an unusually
homogenous group in terms of anatomical location of injury, pain descriptions and patient
demographics. Forty-eight patients with at least one avulsed root and baseline pain score of
four or more on an 11-point ordinate scale participated in a randomised, double-blind …
