Medicinal cannabis eases endometriosis, pelvic pain

Medicinal cannabis could provide a new treatment option for those with endometriosis, with a study led by the University of Otago, Wellington showing it reduced pain, improved sleep and lowered anxiety. The study, led by Dr. Claire Henry from the Department of Surgery and Critical Care, involved 28 people with endometriosis and/or related pelvic pain who were prescribed cannabidiol (CBD) oil alone or in combination with dried cannabis flower for three months.
