My Next Health to Support NFL funded University of Regina Research on Concussions and Pain Management

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2022 /CNW/ - My Next Health Inc. is pleased to announce its $400,000 USD in-kind support of the medical research team at the University of Regina in Canada, along with the $570,030 USD awarded from the National Football League (NFL) to investigate the use of cannabinoids – the naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant – in the treatment of concussions and for pain management in football players. The medical team from Regina was one of two selected along with the University of California San Diego from 106 proposals initiated by the NFL and the NFL Players Association's Joint Pain Management Committee in June of 2021.

The research will be led by Dr. Patrick Neary, an exercise physiologist and professor at the University of Regina's Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies.  Dr. Neary has been working in the area of concussion prevention and treatment for more than 15 years.  "We are grateful for the cannabinoid formulations which are being provided by My Next Health for this study as well as their groundbreaking functional genomics-based insights into chronic pain.  We believe My Next Health's platform will revolutionize the way clinical trials will be conducted in the future and we look forward to working with their world class team to make this research a resounding success.", said Dr. Neary.
