Cannabinoid Therapeutics in Chronic Neuropathic Pain: From Animal Research to Human Treatment

Despite the importance of pain as a warning physiological system, chronic neuropathic pain is frequently caused by damage in the nervous system, followed by persistence over a long period, even in the absence of dangerous stimuli or after healing of injuries. Chronic neuropathic pain affects hundred...
