Summary

This study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD), a compound from cannabis, can reduce urinary incontinence in people with recent spinal cord injury. Twenty adults with at least two leaks per day will take a purified CBD drug (Epidiolex) twice daily for 90 days. The main goal is to see if participants stick with the treatment and to track any side effects.
