Astrid has always been passionate about progressing the research into relief of chronic pain, and we help many patients who suffer from Endometriosis.
We are so pleased to be working with Western Sydney University on two Endometriosis Clinical Trials. The EndoCann trials will explore two types of medicinal cannabis products on the symptoms of endometriosis.
If you are aged over 18 and have a diagnosis of endometriosis, you may be eligible to participate. If you or someone you know is interested in participating, please reach out to us today at hello@astrid.health.
Spread the word and be part of a hopeful future with greater pain relief.
What is a Clinical Trial?
A clinical trial tests new treatments to see if they’re safe and effective. The EndoCann trial is studying medicinal cannabis to manage endometriosis pain.
What is medicinal cannabis?
Medicinal cannabis is the use of the cannabis plant or its extracts for medical purposes. It contains compounds called cannabinoids (CBD, THC) that can help relieve symptoms like pain, inflammation and others. For women with endometriosis, medicinal cannabis may be a treatment option when traditional medications don’t provide enough relief from pain and other symptoms.
Why You Should Join a Clinical Trial?
If you’re dealing with endometriosis pain, this trial might help you find relief. You’ll get to try new treatments that could ease your symptoms, with expert doctors supporting you along the way—completely free. While it may not work for everyone, it’s a step toward feeling better and improving your day-to-day life.
What’s involved?
You’ll start with an initial assessment, including a doctor’s visit, blood tests, and an ultrasound.
Then, you’ll be placed in one of three groups—CBD-only oil, a balanced THC oil, or a placebo (no active ingredients). Over six months, you’ll track your symptoms using a smartphone app and have follow-ups like blood tests and optional ultrasounds.
Can anyone participate?
You must be 18 or older, live in or be able to travel to Sydney, and have a confirmed diagnosis of endometriosis from tests like laparoscopy, MRI, or ultrasound. You also shouldn’t have used cannabis in the last three months. For more details, check the eligibility requirements!
