Description
Yan Wang and co-authors present a 2023 conference abstract describing a study of older adults starting medical cannabis for chronic pain. Hard data on cannabis effects in this group are scarce. The prospective design follows adults over 50 for a year, half starting cannabis and half not, targeting 328 people. Phone-based momentary surveys and wearable sensors capture pain, mood, sleep, and activity in bursts across the year.
Clinic visits bookend the tracking. Multilevel models will test whether cannabis starters ease momentary pain and improve function more than non-users. The authors frame the abstract as the study's blueprint, with results to follow from the combined data streams.
