@ShechterAri @rhyscohen @HoyosCamilla The Northcutt paper has been labelled in the table as a case series but it's actually an 34 patient n-of-1 trial design (hence the placebo mention): https://t.co/ePRGkbirCn

Abstract in brief
- The study involved 34 individual cases examining three cannabis-based medicinal extracts (CBMEs)—containing THC, CBD, or both—used sublingually over 12 weeks to treat chronic neuropathic pain, with initial open-label phases followed by randomized placebo-controlled trials.
- Results showed that extracts with THC were most effective in reducing symptoms, but dosing varied widely, and side effects were common but similar to those from other psychoactive medications, indicating a learning curve for patients and researchers.
- These early findings suggest that while CBMEs are promising for pain relief, more detailed and larger-scale studies are needed to better understand their efficacy, safety, and optimal use.]
