Evidências do uso do canabidiol no controle da dor e melhora da qualidade de vida em pacientes com câncer: revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the available scientific evidence regarding the use of cannabidiol (CBD) in pain management and the improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. Methodology: An integrative literature review was conducted using a qualitative and descriptive approach. Articles published between 2016 and 2025 were selected from open-access databases including PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar. Standardized descriptors from DeCS were used, and data were extracted using a structured form containing variables such as author, year, study objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions. Results: Analysis of the 27 included articles revealed that cannabidiol exhibits analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic properties, contributing to the relief of chronic oncologic pain and symptoms such as nausea, sleep disturbances, and anxiety. The findings indicate an improvement in patients’ quality of life and a reduction in opioid dependence.
