Fibromyalgia is a common disease syndrome characterized by chronic pain and fatigue in conjunction with cognitive dysfunction such as memory difficulties. Patients currently face a difficult prognosis with limited treatment options and a diminished quality of life. Given its widespread use and potential efficacy in treating other types of pain, cannabis may prove to be an effective treatment for fibromyalgia. This review aims to examine and discuss current clinical evidence regarding the use of cannabis for the treatment of fibromyalgia. An electronic search was conducted on MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Scopus using Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms on all literature published up to October 2022. A follow-up manual search included a complete verification of relevant studies. The results of four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and five observational studies (a total of 564 patients) that investigated the effects of cannabis on fibromyalgia symptoms were included in this review. Of the RCTs, only one demonstrated that cannabinoids did not have a different effect than placebo on pain responses. Overall, this analysis shows low-quality evidence supporting short-term pain reduction in people with fibromyalgia treated with cannabinoid therapeutics. Although current evidence is limited, medical cannabis appears to be a safe alternative for treating fibromyalgia.
纤维肌痛是一种常见的疾病综合征,其特征为慢性疼痛、疲劳以及认知功能障碍,如记忆困难。目前,患者面临着艰难的预后,治疗选择有限,生活质量下降。鉴于大麻在治疗其他类型疼痛方面的广泛应用及其潜在疗效,大麻可能被证明是治疗纤维肌痛的有效方法。本综述旨在研究和讨论关于使用大麻治疗纤维肌痛的当前临床证据。我们使用医学主题词(MeSH)对MEDLINE、EMBASE、Cochrane对照试验中央注册库、Cochrane系统评价数据库和Scopus进行了电子检索,检索截至2022年10月发表的所有文献。后续的手动检索包括对相关研究的全面核实。本综述纳入了四项随机对照试验(RCT)和五项观察性研究(共564名患者)的结果,这些研究调查了大麻对纤维肌痛症状的影响。在这些随机对照试验中,只有一项表明大麻素对疼痛反应的影响与安慰剂没有差异。总体而言,该分析显示,支持使用大麻素疗法治疗纤维肌痛患者短期减轻疼痛的证据质量较低。尽管目前的证据有限,但医用大麻似乎是治疗纤维肌痛的一种安全选择。
