Item Conocimiento, actitudes y prácticas del uso del cannabis medicinal en los médicos de la ciudad de Cali en 2024 para el tratamiento del dolor neuropático crónico, y cómo se correlaciona este uso con la efectividad según la revisión sistemática revisada en Colombia por el Instituto de Evaluación de Tecnologías en Salud (IETS) en 2022(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Rodríguez Játiva, David Ricardo; Morales Galindo, Cesar Alexander; Restrepo Zapata, Jorge Humberto (Director)Chronic neuropathic pain is a significant public health problem that affects patients' quality of life. It is associated with disabling diseases and decreased mobility, which in turn reduces activity in daily life. In primary care, there is a lack of satisfactory tools that allow physicians to specify the type of pain, focused on the patient's needs. Treatment of this type of pain is challenging, and conventional therapies often fail to provide adequate relief. In recent years, medical cannabis has been proposed as a therapeutic option for these patients. Therefore, a descriptive cross-sectional correlational study was carried out, which showed that most physicians in Cali do not formulate this therapy due to different limitations such as: lack of knowledge regarding the benefits of THC/CBD with respect to chronic neuropathic pain, which generates certain limitations for safe use in consultation, professionals agree that lack of training is the main limitation of formulation and better training encourages the use of medical cannabis in patients with chronic neuropathic pain as an alternative to different therapies.
