Trial Outcomes & Findings for Characterization of the Analgesic Effect of CBD in Healthy, Normal Volunteers (NCT NCT02751359)

NCT ID: NCT02751359

Last Updated: 2021-05-12

Results Overview

Time to first feel pain ("Pain threshold" measured in seconds) during the Cold Pressor Test and withdraw the hand from the cold water ("Pain Tolerance" measured in seconds). Changes in threshold from baseline were averaged across study sessions for each CBD dose.

Participants rate the strength of their desire to take again, drug liking, good effect and bad effect. Each item was presented and the participant was asked to rate his / her rating on a scale anchored by 'Not At All' (0 mm) to 'Extremely' (100 mm). The average of all timepoints is reported for each category.
