Summary
This study is testing a full-spectrum cannabis extract containing CBD and THC in 36 women with fibromyalgia, a condition causing widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep problems. Participants will receive different doses over six months to see if it improves symptoms and quality of life. It is an early-stage, open-label trial, meaning everyone knows they are getting the treatment, so results are preliminary.
