Lab study explores cannabis compounds for inflammatory disease treatment
NCT ID NCT06842316
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how natural cannabis compounds (phytocannabinoids) affect immune cells from 100 people with chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and Crohn's disease. Researchers will take a blood sample and expose the cells to different cannabis extracts in a lab to see if they reduce inflammation. The goal is to find which cannabis profiles work best, but this is early lab research, not a treatment for patients.
