shown that endocannabinoids are involved in low back pain and are affected by

elevation of endocannabinoid levels, suppress hyperalgesia and allodynia in
animal models of neuropathic pain. In fact endocannabinoids were shown to act
as anti-allodynia agents through a peripheral and possibly a central mechanism.
The current study was undertaken in order to assess what is the effect of
addition of MCT to the treatment of chronic low back pain with a minimal 12
months follow- up of MCT therapy. Read more>>>>>>>
