Poutine was amazing on our tour of some Growers in Canada, didn't think it could be better... and then this..........

Endo Warriors Aotearoa in collaboration with researchers at the University of Otago, will be conducting a research study to investigate the effects of medicinal cannabis on endometriosis-related pain. The study aims to recruit up to 30 participants in Aotearoa who are seeking to use medicinal cannabis prescription for the first time to help with symptoms of endometriosis, this information will be used for research at the University of Otago.

*Participants must be between 18-50 years of age,
* Participants must have been diagnosed with endometriosis/chronic pelvic pain, or been advised by their doctor that they suspect they have endometriosis/chronic pelvic pain.
*Participants must never have been previously prescribed medicinal cannabis

Data collection will involve participants completing a quality of life questionnaire, a pelvic pain score, and a symptom questionnaire once a month for the first 3 months of their prescription. Participants will also be invited to take part in a final interview with the researchers at the end of the study. The interview will involve discussing their experiences with seeking medicinal cannabis such as dosage and administration, use of other pain management, and social, mental, and physical health.

1. Endo Warriors will pay for your appointment(s) with CannaPlus only
2. Contact Claire Henry Claire.henry@otago.ac.nz to participate
3. Study participation will include a range of questionnaires, surveys and invitation to interview after 3 months of their first prescription
4. Study participants will need to pay for their own medical cannabis. You may like to use this Healthnow app to allow increment payments of medicinal cannabis.
5. Participants will receive a koha of a $250 grocery voucher or prezzy card at the end of the study

By doing this research study we hope to be able to provide our medical system with a better understanding of how medicinal cannabis (CBD oil and/or vaporized flower) can help those with endometriosis and/or chronic pelvic pain and enable them to feel comfortable to prescribe these medications.

It's paywalled, but leading Cannabis and Endometriosis researchers In Australia argue that Medical Cannabis should be considered as a plausible, possible treatment for those that ask.

Part of the argument is there's no really effective non surgical options, and the use for pain management is already widespread, as earlier papers demonstrated, including one based on the Medical Cannabis Awareness New Zealand Survey done in 2019.

Things sure are changing.

My terminal uncle, riddled with stage four cancer, who handed cannabis back to me said “If it was meant to help the doctor would be giving it to me” to which I replied “A doctor will never prescribe you anything natural.”

“Results provide preliminary evidence supporting efficacy and tolerability of a full-spectrum, high-CBD product for anxiety. Patients quickly achieve and maintain symptom reduction with few side effects. A definitive assessment of the impact of this novel treatment on clinical symptoms and cognition will be ascertained in the ongoing double-blind, placebo-controlled stage.”

A new study provides evidence
