Cannabidiol (Cbd) And Resistance Training: Does Cbd Attenuate Acute Pain?, Guillermo Pacheco
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
INTRODUCTION: Resistance training (RT) is an advantageous form of physical activity for health and performance benefits; these benefits are maximized when done strenuously. However, strenuous RT can induce acute inflammatory pain which can lead to delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Common analgesics like non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can block protein synthesis, so other alternatives are needed for exercise and athletic communities to maintain physiological adaptations. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid with purported anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and analgesic properties. One of the main reasons for the use of CBD in exercise is pain alleviation; however, research in humans is limited. Therefore, the …

Sublingual sufentanil was developed to reduce pain following a traumatic injury in the field (e.g., battlefield). However, it is unknown whether an analgesic dose of sufentanil affects cardiovascular responses to a painful stimulus in humans. PURPOSE: We tested the hypothesis that sublingual sufentanil blunts pain perception and the accompanying cardiovascular responses during a cold pressor test (CPT). METHODS: Twenty-nine adults, 15 males and 14 females (age: 29 ± 5 years, body mass: 74 ± 8 kg, body mass index: 25 ± 2 kg/m2) participated in this double-blind, randomized, crossover, placebo-controlled trial. Following sublingual administration of sufentanil (30 µg) …
