Abstract

SUMMARY Cannabis has an ancient tradition of usage as a medicine in obstetrics and gynecology. This study presents that history in the literature to the present era, compares it to current ethnobotanical, clinical and epidemiological reports, and examines it in light of modern developments in cannabinoid research. The author believes that cannabis extracts may represent an efficacious and safe alternative for treatment of a wide range of conditions in women including dysmenorrhea, dysuria, hyperemesis gravidarum, and menopausal symptoms.

  • Findings from the rat model and clinical studies strongly support the conclusion that this innervation contributes to endometriosis-associated pain.

    “Findings from the rat model and clinical studies strongly support the conclusion that this innervation contributes to endometriosis-associated pain [21,45,48].”

  • Cannabinoids were long used by women to alleviate dysmenorrhea.

    “The endocannabinoid system plays a key role in pain mechanisms [42], and, previously, cannabinoids were long used by women to alleviate dysmenorrhea [45].”

  • Studies were done when the rat was in proestrus, the estrous stage when hyperalgesia in the ENDO model is most severe.

    “Studies were done when the rat was in proestrus, the estrous stage when hyperalgesia in the ENDO model is most severe [10,45,38].”

  • All assessments were done >6 wks after surgery, when ENDO-induced hyperalgesia is fully-developed and stable.

    “All assessments were done > 6 wks after the surgery; i.e., when ENDO-induced hyperalgesia is fully-developed and stable [10,45,38].”

    From Endocannabinoid involvement in endometriosis. (2010) · cites this paper as [45]

  • Exogenous cannabinoids were once used to alleviate endometriosis-associated pain.

    “This situation, together with knowledge that the endocannabinoid system is involved in uterine function and dysfunction and that exogenous cannabinoids were once used to alleviate endometriosis-associated pain, suggests that the endocannabinoid system is involved in both endometriosis and its associated pain.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
