First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether cannabidiol (CBD) suppositories can reduce pain during sex and improve well-being. Fifty adults who experience sexual pain will be randomly assigned to receive one of three doses of CBD or no treatment for one month. Researchers will measure changes in sexual function, mental well-being, and quality of life at 12 weeks.
