Could CBD calm the storm of Autism's most challenging behaviors?

NCT ID NCT04517799

Summary

This study is testing whether a purified form of CBD, a compound from the cannabis plant, can help reduce severe behavior problems in children with autism. Researchers are enrolling 30 boys, aged 7-14, who struggle with daily aggression, self-harm, or extreme hyperactivity. Each child will try both the CBD treatment and a placebo for 8-week periods to see if one leads to clearer improvements in behavior and quality of life.
