Summary

This study tests four virtual coaching sessions to help veterans with chronic pain use their own cannabis products more effectively. Researchers aim to see if coaching improves pain, anxiety, and overall well-being. The trial is recruiting 468 veterans across the U.S.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
cannabis coaching sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, non-drug method to help veterans better manage chronic pain with cannabis.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral intervention, not a new drug, so benefits may be modest. The trial is still recruiting and results are not yet available.
