Cannabis and cannabinoid drugs are increasingly used for various medical conditions, but their effectiveness for specific issues remains uncertain.
A systematic review analyzed data from 79 clinical trials, focusing on outcomes like nausea relief, pain reduction, and quality of life improvements while assessing possible adverse events.
Results indicated cannabinoids may improve symptoms in some cases, particularly for nausea and pain, but they also carried a higher risk of short-term adverse effects.
