Back in 2019 scientists did a study on the effects CBD had on reducing PTSD-related symptoms. 11 adult patients at an outpatient psychiatry clinic contributed to the study. The length of the study was 8 weeks and was assessed every 4 weeks.
From the total sample of 11 patients, 91% (n = 10) experienced a decrease in PTSD symptom severity, as evidenced by a lower PCL-5 score at 8 weeks than at their initial baseline.
The mean total PCL-5 score decreased 28%, from a mean baseline score of 51.82 down to 37.14, after eight consecutive weeks of treatment with CBD. CBD was generally well tolerated, and no patients discontinued treatment due to side effects.
