Marijuana compound tested as safer schizophrenia treatment

NCT ID NCT02926859

Summary

This study is testing whether adding cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive compound from cannabis, to standard antipsychotic medication helps people with schizophrenia stay on treatment longer and improves their symptoms. It will involve 180 people who have been diagnosed within the last seven years and are already on stable medication. The goal is to see if CBD can help control the disease with fewer side effects than current treatments.
