Award Details
A total of five institutes and centres of the National Institutes of Health invite applications for developing the therapeutic potential of the endocannabinoid system for pain treatment (R01 clinical trial optional). This supports projects that seek to elucidate the therapeutic potential of the cannabinoids and endocannabinoid system in the development of mechanism-based therapies for pain. The goal is to understand the role of cannabinoids in the management of chronic pain, in part, to help mitigate the high rate of use and abuse of opioids.
