The greater the benefit a treatment is assumed to have, the more potential harms can be tolerated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The study is based on an analysis of published clinical studies in which cannabis has been compared with placebo for the treatment of clinical pain. The change in pain intensity before and after treatment were the study&#8217;s primary outcome measurement.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis drew on 20 studies published up to September 2021 involving almost 1,500 individuals.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the study show that pain is rated as being significantly less intense after treatment with placebo, with a moderate to large effect. The researchers also observed no difference in pain reduction between cannabis and placebo, which corroborates results from another recently published meta-analysis. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is a distinct and clinically relevant placebo response in studies of cannabis for pain,&#8221; says Dr. Gedin.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers also examined a possible connection between the magnitude of the therapeutic effect shown by the cannabis studies and the coverage they receive in the media and in academic journals. Media presence was measured through Altmetric, which is a method of evaluating mentions in the media, in blogs and on social media. Academic impact was measured in terms of citations by other researchers.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis of media presence included a total of 136 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> items in traditional media and in blogs and was categorized as positive, negative or neutral, depending on how the results were presented concerning the effectiveness of cannabis as a treatment for pain.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that the cannabis studies received much greater media attention than other published studies. The coverage was substantial regardless of the magnitude of the placebo response and regardless of the therapeutic effect of cannabis. They also observed no link between the proportion of positively described news about a study and the effect it reported. <\/p>\n<p>The researchers add the caveat that their study combined trials of varying designs and quality and therefore the results should be interpreted with caution.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-main__more p-4\">\n                                                                                                <strong>More information:<\/strong><br \/>\n                                                Filip Gedin et al, Placebo Response and media attention in randomized clinical trials assessing cannabis-based therapies for pain: A systematic review and meta-analysis, <i>JAMA Network Open<\/i> (2022). <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-doi=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.43848\">DOI: 10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2022.43848<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"d-inline-block text-medium my-4\">\n                                                Provided by<br \/>\n                                                                                                    Karolinska Institutet<br \/>\n                                                                                                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"icon_open\" href=\"http:\/\/ki.se\/?l=en\"><br \/>\n                                                        <svg><use href=\"https:\/\/medx.b-cdn.net\/tmpl\/v6\/img\/svg\/sprite.svg#icon_open\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p>                                        <!-- print only --><\/p>\n<div class=\"d-none d-print-block\">\n<p>\n                                                 <strong>Citation<\/strong>:<br \/>\n                                                 Study finds positive media coverage of cannabis studies regardless of therapeutic effect (2022, November 28)<br \/>\n                                                 retrieved 28 November 2022<br \/>\n                                                 from https:\/\/medicalxpress.com\/news\/2022-11-positive-media-coverage-cannabis-therapeutic.html<\/p>\n<p>                                            This document is subject to copyright.
