<p>Fibromyalgia is &#097; chronic pain syndrome &#111;&#102; unknown etiology. &#116;&#104;&#101; disease is characterized &#098;&#121; widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and multiple tender points in &#116;&#104;&#101; neck, spine, shoulders, and hips. &#097;&#110; estimated 3 to 6 million Americans &#097;&#114;&#101; afflicted &#098;&#121; fibromyalgia, which is &#111;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#110; poorly controlled &#098;&#121; standard pain medications.</p>
<p>Fibromyalgia patients frequently self-report using cannabis therapeutically to treat symptoms &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; disease,[1-2] and physicians – &#119;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; legal to do &#115;&#111; – &#111;&#102;&#116;&#101;&#110; recommend &#116;&#104;&#101; &#117;&#115;&#101; &#111;&#102; cannabis to treat musculoskeletal disorders.[3-4] To date however, &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; &#111;&#110;&#101; clinical trial is &#097;&#118;&#097;&#105;&#108;&#097;&#098;&#108;&#101; in &#116;&#104;&#101; scientific literature assessing &#116;&#104;&#101; &#117;&#115;&#101; &#111;&#102; cannabinoids to treat &#116;&#104;&#101; disease.</p>
<p>Writing in &#116;&#104;&#101; July 2006 issue &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; journal Current Medical Research and Opinion, investigators at Germany?s University &#111;&#102; Heidelberg evaluated &#116;&#104;&#101; analgesic effects &#111;&#102; oral THC in nine patients with fibromyalgia &#111;&#118;&#101;&#114; &#097; 3-month period. Subjects in &#116;&#104;&#101; trial &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; administered daily doses &#111;&#102; 2.5 to 15 mg &#111;&#102; THC, but received no &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; pain medication &#100;&#117;&#114;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#104;&#101; trial. Among &#116;&#104;&#111;&#115;&#101; participants &#119;&#104;&#111; completed &#116;&#104;&#101; trial, all reported &#097; significant reduction in daily recorded pain and electronically induced pain.[5]</p>
<p>Previous clinical and preclinical trials have shown &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; naturally occurring and endogenous cannabinoids hold analgesic qualities,[6-9] &#112;&#097;&#114;&#116;&#105;&#099;&#117;&#108;&#097;&#114;&#108;&#121; in &#116;&#104;&#101; treatment &#111;&#102; cancer pain [10] and neuropathic pain, [11-13] &#098;&#111;&#116;&#104; &#111;&#102; which &#097;&#114;&#101; poorly treated &#098;&#121; conventional opioids. &#097;&#115; &#097; result, &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101; experts have suggested &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; cannabinoid agonists would &#098;&#101; applicable &#102;&#111;&#114; &#116;&#104;&#101; treatment &#111;&#102; chronic pain conditions unresponsive to opioid analgesics such &#097;&#115; fibromyalgia, and &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; theorize &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101; disease may &#098;&#101; associated with &#097;&#110; underlying clinical deficiency &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; endocannabinoid system.[14]</p>
