The CannaKeys chronic pain treatment algorithm is based on review and analysis of scientific literature and clinical expert opinion. Focused on aspects that can be controlled in the clinical setting, it is designed to be used as a tool for creating optimal cannabinoid-based therapeutics for chronic pain patients while managing the complexities of the endocannabinoid system.

Evidence-based Guidelines for Cannabis Therapeutics
We offer a systematic approach that physicians and healthcare professionals can use to make evidence-based decisions when prescribing cannabis or cannabinoids to treat chronic pain. Factors that can make a significant difference in optimizing patient outcomes include the choice of a primary cannabinoid, a secondary cannabinoid, and the ideal ratio between them, specific dosing protocols, forms, and additional synergy-inducing constituents.
Screening Process
Includes risk assessment, possible contraindications, and potential cannabinoid-to-pharmaceutical drug interactions.
Cannabinoid Treatment Plans
Dosing protocols consider patient preference regarding cognitive changes and altered states, and include starting dose, maximum daily dose, and titration rates for primary and secondary cannabinoids.
Cannabis-based Terpenes
Terpenes with therapeutic potential for the treatment of chronic pain with links to clinical studies.
Nutraceuticals and Supplements
All relevant herbs and nutraceuticals that interact with the endocannabinoid system or the broader endocannabinoidome with clinical evidence for treating chronic pain.
Microbiome and Dietary considerations
All dietary considerations and food products that engage the microbiome and interact with the endocannabinoid system or the broader endocannabinoidome with clinical evidence for treating chronic pain.
