The value of cannabinoids for these indications is not resolved sufficiently for palliative patients. A systematic review with meta-analysis of the efficacy, tolerability and safety on the basis of randomised controlled studies (RCT) or randomised open label or crossover studies has not yet been conducted. An extensive search for RCTs, randomised open label or crossover studies dealing with the underlying question was performed in the databases of Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus and Clinicaltrials.gov up to April 2015. Studies with a duration of ≥ 2 weeks and ≥ 10 participants per treatment group were included into analysis. Using a random effects model, pooled estimates of event rates for categorical data and standardized mean differences (SMD) for continuous variables and risk differences (RD) for dichotomous variables were calculated. Out of initially 108 studies 9, with a total of 1561 participants suffering from advanced or end stage diseases, were included. The median study duration of the cancer research was 8 week...Continue Reading
