Video Summary

In this video, Mike Alea from NYU presents the findings of a double-blind, randomized controlled trial on the use of buccal-absorbed cannabidiol (CBD) in patients undergoing primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of CBD on post-operative pain, patient satisfaction, opioid use, and complications. The results showed that patients who received CBD had decreased post-operative pain and improved satisfaction compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in opioid use or adverse effects observed between the groups. The study suggests that CBD shows promise in improving pain control and patient satisfaction after surgery while meeting safety standards. The presenter also mentions that further research is being conducted on the use of CBD in knee osteoarthritis and other areas.
