TILRAY MEDICAL ANNOUNCES SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON MEDICAL CANNABIS FOR PATIENTS OVER AGE 50
Tilray Medical, a division of Tilray Brands Inc., has released a scientific publication titled Medical Cannabis for Patients Over Age 50: A Multi-Site, Prospective Study of Patterns of Use and Health Outcomes. The medical cannabis in older patients study (MCOPS) is a multisite, prospective, observational study examining the real-world impact of medical use on patients over the age of 50 and under the guidance of a health care provider.
The MCOPS study comprised 299 participants with an average age of 66.7 years and 62.2 per cent of respondents identified as female. Approximately 90 per cent of patients used medical cannabis to treat pain-related conditions such as chronic pain and arthritis. This study presents to the medical and scientific community the impact of medical cannabis on health outcomes, with a focus on pain, sleep and quality of life.
Under medical cannabis guidance and care, the MCOPS shows correlation with improvements in pain scores, sleep and quality of life in a still growing subset of patients. A significant reduction of co-medication was observed, indicating that the treatment with medical cannabis can be a cost-effective option for this population.
Jose Tempero, Tilray's medical director, stated, "Our involvement in this initiative underscores our unwavering commitment to advancing medical research and highlights our dedication to providing products that supports the findings to the comprehensive research that bring us one step closer to unlocking the full therapeutic potential of medical cannabis, especially reinforcing its role as a treatment option for an aging population."
