NCT ID NCT05283382
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a single dose of cannabidiol (CBD) can help college students with social anxiety let go of fearful memories more quickly. Researchers will condition participants to fear certain faces using mild wrist shocks, then give either CBD or a placebo to see which group unlearns the fear faster. The goal is to understand how CBD affects learning and anxiety, not to treat or cure any condition.
