Summary

This study gave pure CBD to 25 children aged 1-17 with severe epilepsy that didn't improve with other treatments. Parents kept seizure diaries to track changes before and after starting CBD, which was added to their current medications. The goal was to see if CBD could help reduce seizures in these children who had no other options.
