Summary

This study tests four virtual coaching sessions to help veterans with chronic pain use their own cannabis products more effectively. Participants will learn strategies to manage pain and related symptoms. The goal is to see if this coaching improves pain relief and satisfaction.

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 (educational sessions)
What this could lead to
If effective, this coaching approach could help veterans better manage chronic pain with cannabis, potentially reducing reliance on other pain medications.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 22 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Coaching may not improve pain outcomes for everyone.
