A newly published study in Bioactive Materials finds that a nasal delivery system for cannabidiol (CBD) may significantly improve how efficiently the compound reaches the brain, while also reducing core autism-related symptoms. Researchers from the University of Haifa and Jerusalem College of Technology developed CBD-loaded polymeric micelles designed for intranasal, or nose-to-brain, delivery. The goal …

Study: CBD-Rich Cannabis Oil Linked to Reduced ADHD Symptoms in Children and Young Adults With Autism
A new study published by Current Neuropharmacology reports that CBD-rich cannabis oil can help reduce attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children and young adults diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, particularly in cases where traditional medications have fallen short. The research was conducted by scientists from Tel Aviv University and followed participants over a period …
Cannabis Compound Cannflavin B Reduced Anxiety and Improved Social Behavior in Autism Model
A compound found in the marijuana plant called cannflavin B reduced anxiety-like behavior and improved social behavior in a commonly used animal model of autism, according to a new study published by Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy by researchers from the University of Guelph.
Cannabis and Autism: Six Recent Studies Highlight CBD’s Potential Role in Reducing Symptoms and Protecting Brain Function
Over the past 12 months, six separate peer-reviewed studies have been published examining the impact of cannabidiol (CBD) on autism, with results consistently showing improvements in behavioral symptoms and markers of brain health. One of the most notable was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial at UC San Diego that tested pharmaceutical CBD (Epidiolex) in boys with …
Two-Thirds of Children With Autism Showed Behavioral Improvements From CBD in New Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study
A new double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study has found that cannabidiol (CBD) led to behavioral improvements in about two-thirds of boys with autism spectrum disorder, though researchers emphasize that a strong placebo effect complicates interpretation of the results. Conducted by the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and published in the Journal of Autism …
Study: CBD Oil May Reduce Autism Symptoms and Oxidative Stress
A study published today by the journal Developmental Neurobiology found that cannabidiol (CBD) oil may improve core symptoms of autism and reduce oxidative stress. Researchers from several Pakistani institutions, including the National University of Sciences and Technology and Quaid-i-Azam University, examined the effects of CBD oil on mice with autism-like behaviors induced by valproic acid …
Study: Purified CBD Improved Symptoms in Over 80% of Children With Severe, Treatment-Resistant Autism
A new study published in the journal Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior finds that purified cannabidiol (CBD) may help improve severe, treatment-resistant behavioral symptoms in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The prospective, observational study included 20 pediatric patients with severe ASD who were unresponsive to conventional medications and behavioral interventions. Researchers examined the efficacy and …
Study: CBD Nanoemulsion Reversed Autism-Like Behaviors and Prevented Neural Damage in Animal Model
A study published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine shows that cannabidol (CBD) delivered via nanoemulsions may help reduce autism-like behaviors and prevent neural damage in autism. For the study, researchers sought to address CBD’s low oral bioavailability by developing a nanoemulsion formulation using CBD-rich corn oil. The study evaluated the effects of this …
SciSparc Secures Renewed Approval by Israel Cannabis Agency for Clinical Trial in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
SciSparc Ltd., a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system, has received renewed approval from the Israeli Medical Cannabis Agency to conduct a clinical trial of SCI-210, a CBD and CannAmide combination, for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This renewal reaffirms the Company’s …
Study: CBD May Reverse Behavioral Impairments Linked to Autism
A new study published in the journal Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior shows that CBD may reverse the behavioral impairments associated with autism spectrum disorder. Researchers from the University of São Paulo and the Oswaldo Cruz Institute examined the effects of CBD on adult male mice exposed to valproic acid (VPA) during embryonic development, a model …
