The use of cannabis for the treatment of fractures
In the near future in several countries begin experiments related to clinical research with people who have received various forms of fractures. Taking into account the ongoing process of regulatory clearance to work with hemp raw materials in the medical field in our country, this kind of international experience would be useful Ukrainian scientist who after a relatively short period of time will be able to apply beznarkoticheskie cannabinoids for the treatment of patients in need.
Traditional medicine since ancient times used the cannabis for the treatment of various diseases, including bone fractures in humans and domestic animals.
As a newly established scholars, the endocannabinoid system of the human body regulates many functions and processes in mammals, from emotional well-being and a sense of pain, to protect nerve tissue and improve metabolism. Doctors were able to determine that the effects of certain cannabinoids may help humanity in the fight against pain in the joints, as well as in wound healing of bones and connective tissues of the body.
Published in 2015, a study conducted by Dr. Kogan confirmed that endokanabinoidy able to influence the biomechanical properties and structure of the body's bones. Directly secreted human endocannabinoid compounds interact with bone marrow CB receptors that affect the regeneration of damaged bones, as well as the composition of the mineral and proteinaceous compounds which the body uses in their recovery.
The team at Tel Aviv University in 2015 reported that cannabinoids can stimulate bone formation and help stop bone loss. Hemp fracture bones proved to be extremely useful. Yankel Gabe from the research laboratory at the Department of bone anatomy and anthropology, Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University said that the normal functioning of the human skeleton is governed by cannabinoids. Adding nepsihoaktivnogo compounds capable of affecting the bone tissue and in particular in the total skeleton.
In 2015, the American Society for the study of bone tissue, published a study devoted to the application of the active components of cannabis in the healing process of bone fractures.
The experiment was carried out on several groups of mammals (rats), which fragmented bone surgically. The first group of test animals received with food tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the second cannabidiol (CBD), the control group, was treated using a saline solution. During the experiment, scientists have closely followed the process of matching bone, fixing the data on their rate of recovery.
According to the authors of the experiment, the process of fracture healing in mammals begins with the formation of bone tissue of the prototype, called "callus", which initially envelops a portion of the damaged bone. Callus is the foundation, which eventually fills the usual bone tissue. With the restoration of the integrity of bones, corn gradually disappears, giving way to a healthy bone.
After several weeks of research, scientists have documented that in the experimental rats consuming THC and CBD, the area occupied by the bone callus was 26% less than their counterparts treated with saline.
In fact cannabinoids accelerated bone growth process. After 2 months after complete recovery of bone integrity in rats it was recorded that healed bones CBD groups have 50% stronger and denser than the other experimental groups.
Orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries are the second most common reason for doctor visits in the United States, costing the country's inhabitants in the $ 1 trillion annually. CDB will make the process of healing of fractures of any form of much quicker and, thanks to the soothing properties of this substance, painless.
Comment of the Association "Ukrainian industrial hemp"
Over the past few years, doctors from Canada, Israel, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, France, Germany, the United States and other industrialized countries around the world are studying the therapeutic properties of cannabis with regard to the different methods of fracture treatment of pets. In the near future in several countries begin experiments related to clinical research with people who have received various forms of fractures. Taking into account the ongoing process of regulatory clearance to work with hemp raw materials in the medical field in our country, this kind of international experience would be useful Ukrainian scientist who after a relatively short period of time will be able to apply beznarkoticheskie cannabinoids for the treatment of patients in need.
