One of Canada's foremost brain injury experts said he's 'reasonably hopeful' that there is potential for the medicinal value of cannabinoids to be combined with other treatments to help those affected by post-concussion issues. | cbcsports
Brain surgeon and concussion researcher Dr. Charles Tator said he's "reasonably hopeful" that cannabinoids could help with treatment for patients with post-concussion issues.
About 100 former players will take part in a randomized double-blind study, according to a joint news release. It will include those who have developed impairments as a result of past concussions, including depression, post-traumatic stress disorders, and progressive dementia from chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
"You put an all-star group together and say, 'Alright, get me some science,"' Healy said Thursday. "That science may include something that gets you off of Oxycodone and Vicodin. I know the chapter of that book. I get to read it a lot." "But these types of studies are very costly. To do it right you really have to have a good design, otherwise you end up with uninterpretable results and nobody benefits from that."
