Spondyloarthritis (SA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that predominantly affects the spinal column. SA-related pain can be intense, persistent, and disabling. Studies with cannabis have been conducted involving patients with refractory epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, sleep disorders, and chronic pain. Cannabidiol is the major non-psychotropic component of cannabis, has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and exerts anxiolytic and mood-stabilizing effects. This paper reports a case of a 72-year-old male with SA, with mild stenoses of the spinal canal at C4-C5 and C5-C6 and stenoses of the left neural foramina at C3-C4, C4-C5, C5-C6, and C6-C7. The use of cannabidiol in our patient achieved satisfactory results in the control of pain related to cervical spondyloarthritis.
