The NFL-NFLPA Pain Management Committee (PMC) works to establish uniform standards for club practices and policies regarding pain management and the use of prescription medications by ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøplayers. As part of that mission, the NFL-NFLPA is working to improve player health through evidence-based treatment of acute and chronic pain. Dr. Kevin Hill and Dr. Geoff Ling, Co-Chairs of the NFL-NFLPA PMC, shared with clubs two white papers – one for players, one for medical staff – that summarize safe and effective alternatives to opioids and the state of the science on cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabis.
