Peer-reviewed studies focused on the compound cannabidiol (CBD), which is a nonpsychoactive component of the cannabis plant.
Study: CBD Shows Potential as Long-Lasting Local Anesthetic
A new study published in Anesthesia & Analgesia suggests cannabidiol may have potential as a long-lasting local anesthetic or as an add-on to existing anesthetics. The study, conducted by researchers at Hannover Medical School, examined how CBD affects voltage-gated sodium channels, known as Nav channels. These channels play a key role in the transmission of …
Oral CBD May Help Lower Blood Pressure, New Review Finds
A new systematic review published by the Journal of Cannabis Research found that oral cannabidiol (CBD) may help reduce blood pressure in adults, particularly during periods of stress and while sleeping. The review, conducted by researchers at University College London, examined randomized controlled trials evaluating oral CBD supplementation in adults with either normal blood pressure …
CBD-Hesperetin Formulation Greatly Improves CBD Solubility
A new study published in AAPS PharmSciTech found that a specialized formulation combining cannabidiol (CBD) with hesperetin dramatically improved the solubility, dissolution and in vitro permeability of both compounds. Researchers from Poznan University of Medical Sciences examined whether hot-melt extrusion could be used to create amorphous dispersions of CBD and hesperetin, two plant-derived compounds with …
Cannabis Oils Linked to Improved Quality of Life in Horse With Severe Chronic Disease
A case report published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science found that long-term treatment with THC- and CBD-rich cannabis oils was associated with improved comfort, appetite, mobility and wound healing in a severely ill horse receiving palliative care. Researchers from the University of Bologna, University of Teramo and Federal University of Santa Catarina described the case …
Review Finds Just 31% of Consumer CBD Products Meet Label-Accuracy Standard
A review published in Phytochemistry Letters found that a majority of consumer CBD products tested in peer-reviewed studies failed to meet common label-accuracy standards, with some products also containing THC, synthetic cannabinoids, heavy metals, pesticides or residual solvents. Researchers from L-Università ta’ Malta reviewed 28 peer-reviewed analytical studies published between 2017 and 2025, covering 937 …
CBD May Help Address “Digital Era Fatigue,” Review Finds
A review published in CNS and Neurodegenerative Targets – Discovery On Target suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) may have therapeutic potential for addressing what researchers describe as Digital Era Fatigue, a condition linked to excessive screen time and social media use. Conducted by researchers from Amity University, the review defines Digital Era Fatigue as a neurobehavioral syndrome …
CBD Reduces Lung Injury by Targeting Inflammation, Oxidative Stress and Cell Death Pathways: Study
A new study published in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences found that cannabidiol (CBD) may help protect against lung ischemia-reperfusion injury, a serious condition linked to oxidative stress, inflammation and tissue damage. The study was conducted by researchers from Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University and Suleyman Demirel University. For the study, researchers used …
Study Finds Inhaled CBD Reversed Seizure and Inflammation-Related Effects of Chronic Nicotine Exposure
A new study published in Experimental Lung Research found that inhaled CBD reversed several seizure-related and inflammatory effects linked to chronic nicotine pouch exposure in mice. Researchers from Augusta University examined how acute and chronic oral nicotine exposure affected seizure vulnerability, neuroinflammation and glymphatic function, while also testing whether inhaled CBD could counteract those effects. …
Study Highlights Endocannabinoid System’s Role in Muscle Health and CBD’s Therapeutic Potential
A new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Metabolism highlights the role of the endocannabinoid system in skeletal muscle health, while exploring CBD’s potential benefits for conditions affecting muscle function and metabolism. Researchers from Université Clermont Auvergne examined how the endocannabinoid system, particularly the CB1 receptor, affects skeletal muscle development and function. According to …
