Could cannabis ease the agony of cancer treatment?

NCT ID NCT03431363

Summary

This study looked at whether adding medical cannabis to standard supportive care helps head and neck cancer patients better tolerate the difficult side effects of combined chemotherapy and radiation. Researchers observed 30 patients who were already certified to use medical cannabis in New York. The main goal was to see if patients would actually register for and use the cannabis, and to check if it improved their quality of life, pain levels, and weight loss during treatment.
