LISBON, Portugal, Sept. 09, 2024.The study examines the real-world impact of cannabinoid treatments on patients with fibromyalgia (FM) under the guidance of healthcare providers.
The TOMAS study, consisting of patients with an average age of 52 years, examined the effects of Tilray Dried Flower THC18 on chronic pain and other FM-associated symptoms. The study sheds light on the impact of cannabinoids on health outcomes, with a particular focus on pain, sleep, and quality of life.
With medical cannabis guidance and supervision, the study demonstrated improvements in pain scores, sleep quality, and overall quality of life for fibromyalgia patients. Moreover, there was a notable reduction in co-medication, suggesting that cannabinoids may be an effective and cost-efficient treatment option for this population. The results of this study provide valuable insights for the medical and scientific community on the use of cannabinoids in managing chronic pain and improving the quality of life for patients with fibromyalgia.
José Tempero, Tilray's Medical Director, commented, "The findings of this study are encouraging and provide hope for fibromyalgia patients who are seeking effective treatments. At Tilray, we are committed to conducting comprehensive scientific research that ensures our treatments are based on evidence and can improve patient care. We believe that these results represent a significant step forward in advancing the understanding of the therapeutic potential of cannabinoids and their role in managing chronic pain."
