Purpose and Goals
Are you living with chronic pain?
By 2025 up to 8.3 million Canadians may live with chronic pain, with numbers expected to hit 9.0 million by 2030 (Canadian Pain Task Force, 2021).
Researchers in the BRAIN lab from the University of Victoria are investigating the effects of cannabis use on physical, psychosocial, and cognitive health outcomes in aging Canadians living with chronic pain.
We aim to:
1) Identify what factors contribute to reduced (or improved) quality of life in Canadians living with chronic pain
2) Better understand how cannabis use affects health outcomes and quality of life in this population
3) Inform healthcare professionals, public health stakeholders, and Canadians with lived experience of the potential benefits and risks of choosing cannabis as a treatment for chronic pain symptoms
