July 09 2024 - 6:00AM
Tilray Medical, a division of Tilray Brands, Inc. ("Tilray")
(Nasdaq: TLRY; TSX: TLRY) and a global leader in medical cannabis,
empowering the therapeutic alliance between patients and healthcare
practitioners to make informed individualized health decisions,
today announced a new Tilray-led scientific publication titled,
Medical Cannabis for Patients Over Age 50: A Multi-Site,
Prospective Study of Patterns of Use and Health Outcomes.
The Medical Cannabis in Older Patients Study (“MCOPS”) is a
multi-site, prospective, observational study examining the
real-world impact of medical use on patients over the age of 50 and
under the guidance of a healthcare provider.
The MCOPS study comprised of 299 participants
with an average age of 66.7 years and 62.2% of respondents
identified as female. Approximately 90% of patients used medical
cannabis to treat pain-related conditions such as chronic pain and
arthritis. This study presents to the medical and scientific
community the impact of medical cannabis on health outcomes, with a
focus on pain, sleep and quality of life.
Under medical cannabis guidance and care, the
MCOPs shows correlation with improvements in pain scores, sleep and
quality of life in a still growing subset of patients. A
significant reduction of co-medication was observed, indicating
that the treatment with medical cannabis can be a cost-effective
option for this population.
José Tempero, Tilray’s Medical Director, stated,
"Our involvement in this initiative underscores our unwavering
commitment to advancing medical research and highlights our
dedication to providing products that supports the findings to the
comprehensive research that bring us one step closer to unlocking
the full therapeutic potential of medical cannabis, especially
reinforcing its role as a treatment option for an aging
population."
