Clinical Case Study - Endometriosis Pain in a Patient with Pericarditis

Gina, a 32-year-old with endometriosis, seeks treatment for her gastrointestinal and pain-related symptoms. 

Gina has tried a range of conventional medications and therapies, but they’ve offered little relief for her symptoms, in particular her pain which leaves her cyclically incapacitated and impacts her work as a hotel manager.

In this case study, we explore how Gina’s team prescribed medical cannabis products to help Gina manage her pain and reduce the impacts on her work and wellbeing.
