Oral cannabis for long-term spine pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking cannabis by mouth can safely reduce chronic spine pain and improve daily comfort. You may be eligible if you have long-lasting spine pain and can follow study rules about stopping or limiting other cannabis and certain other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spine pain has lasted at least 3 months, and it is not mainly nerve pain that shoots down the leg or arm.
- You must not use cannabis of any form (smoking, edibles, extracts, or topical) for 14 days before the baseline visit and during the study (except the study medicine).
- If you have cancer-related pain, nerve-type (neuropathic) pain, or another pain condition that is worse than your spine pain, you likely can’t join.
- You must not change plans for major spine or other major surgery in the 3 months before enrollment, and you can’t plan surgery/procedures during the study.
- You must be able to pass key safety checks (like blood tests, liver health, heart tests/ECG, blood pressure) and not have conditions such as uncontrolled severe depression or seizure disorder.

This early study looks at how the brain may respond to cannabis to reduce long-lasting lower back pain. You may be asked to follow strict rules about cannabis, opioids, and safety checks (including MRI) to help researchers understand the brain mechanisms.
This study is testing whether adding chiropractic care to regular medical care helps people with long-term back or neck pain reduce their use of opioid pain medications. If you are interested in lowering your opioid dose, this trial may offer a non-drug approach to pain management.
This trial studies whether a cannabis extract can reduce acute nerve-related pain in the back and lessen how much pain medication you need. It may help people with a short-term episode of “shooting” nerve pain from the spine.
This study tests whether a full-spectrum cannabis extract (a whole-plant product containing many natural compounds) can help relieve chronic pain and improve markers of bone health in women. If you join, you'll take the extract and your pain and bone health will be monitored.
This Phase 2 study tests cannabis-derived products to see if they reduce neuropathic (nerve-related) pain in veterans. It may help people whose pain is persistent and causes significant daily impact, especially if certain exam tests show allodynia (pain from normally non-painful touch).
This study tests whether a combination of THC and CBD can help people who have both opioid use disorder and chronic low back pain. You would need to be on a stable dose of methadone and have used cannabis at least once in your life.
