CBD oil under study for Tough-to-Treat seizures

NCT ID NCT07233239

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a liquid form of cannabidiol (CBD) in 100 people aged 12 to 75 who have focal-onset seizures. CBD is already approved for certain rare seizure disorders, and researchers want to see if it can also help reduce focal seizures. Participants will take CBD oil by mouth, and doctors will track changes in seizure frequency and any side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cannabidiol oral solution (CBD oil)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with focal-onset seizures who don't respond well to current medications.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase, small trial (100 people) with no placebo group, so results may not be conclusive. CBD can cause side effects like drowsiness or liver issues.
