Chronic neuropathic pain, the most frequent condition affecting the peripheral nervous system, remains under-diagnosed and difficult to treat. Inhaled cannabis may alleviate chronic neuropathic pain. Our objective was to synthesize the evidence on inhaled cannabis for chronic neuropathic pain. We performed a systematic review and an individual patient data meta-analysis. We registered our protocol with PROSPERO CRD42011001182. We searched in Cochrane Central, PubMed, EMBASE and AMED. We considered all randomized controlled trials investigating chronic painful neuropathy and comparing inhaled cannabis to placebo.
