Abstract:Chronic pain, defined as pain persisting beyond the normal tissue healing time, significantly impairs patients" quality of life and can trigger negative emotions and behaviors such as anxiety and depression. Currently, there remains a lack of standardized biomedical management and curative approaches. Cannabidiol (CBD) has demonstrated unique potential in the treatment of chronic pain. This review summarizes the diverse mechanisms through which CBD exerts its therapeutic effects on chronic pain, including interactions with the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), serotonin 1A receptor (5-HT1A), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), the NLRP3 inflammasome, as well as its antioxidant effects and modulation of the endocannabinoid system. Furthermore, we explore additional potential mechanisms, aiming to provide novel therapeutic approaches for pain management.
