This trial will assess if CBD can improve cognition & symptoms related to traumatic brain injury in people. Subjects will be randomly assigned a condition for 12 weeks.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-60 with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) who have been evaluated in a hospital setting.

Exclusions include severe mental illness, unstable medical conditions, high liver enzymes, current heavy cannabis or CBD use, certain neurological disorders, substance abuse issues, and pregnancy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests two forms of cannabinoids (fsCBD and bsCBD) against a placebo to see if they can improve cognition and symptoms related to TBI. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these options for a duration of 12 weeks in this double-blind trial where neither the researchers nor participants know who receives the actual drug or placebo.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, cannabinoids like fsCBD and bsCBD may cause drowsiness, changes in appetite or mood swings. Some individuals might experience digestive issues or headaches. The severity of side effects varies from person to person.
