Epilepsy is a disorder that causes unprovoked, recurrent seizures. Seizure is a sudden electrical activities in the brain. Some patients treated for epilepsy continue to have seizures after the treatment.
Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the many active compounds in the cannabis (marijuana) plant can be effective for treating epilepsy. Purified CBD is being tested, but artisanal formulations of CBD (oils) are already available and being used by some patients.
To evaluate the efficacy of artisanal CBD for patients with epilepsy, Robert Carson, MD, PhD, and colleagues performed a retrospective study of medical records obtained from Vanderbilt’s BioVU resource.
They found that among 108 pediatric patients with epilepsy, 39 percent who added CBD oil to their treatments experienced a 50 percent reduction in seizures, 10 percent became seizure-free, and 22 percent were able to decrease doses of other anti-seizure medications.
CBD oil can be used for treating seizure reduction with few side effects.
