CBD for Knee Osteoarthritis (NCT06414473)

Sub-Lingual Administration of Cannabidiol for Knee Osteoarthritis

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Osteoarthritis is a disease that affects millions of Americans and is the leading cause of persistent pain and physical disability in the older adult population. Many physically active Americans have reported pain-relieving effects of cannabidiol (CBD) that can reduce or eliminate use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for activity-related pain with minimal to no side effects. Long-term use of over-the-counter medications, including NSAIDs, can pose a significant health risk, and therefore clinical research on the safety and efficacy of CBD is needed.
