How can patient-centered approaches enhance the development of cannabinoid-based therapies? Patient-centered approaches can enhance the development of cannabinoid-based therapies by prioritizing individual patient needs, preferences, and experiences throughout the research and treatment process. Engaging patients in discussions about their symptoms, treatment goals, and desired outcomes can inform more tailored therapeutic strategies. Collecting patient-reported outcomes can provide valuable insights into the efficacy and tolerability of cannabinoid therapies. Additionally, involving patients in the design and implementation of clinical trials can enhance recruitment and retention, ensuring research findings are applicable to real-world scenarios. By focusing on patient-centered care, researchers can optimize cannabinoid therapies to meet diverse needs (Aso et al., 2021).
