The purpose of this double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to determine the analgesic effects of cannabidiol (CBD), a chemical constituent found in cannabis that does not have intoxicating effects. The analgesic effects of CBD will be assessed using the Cold-Pressor Test (CPT), a laboratory model of pain which has predictive validity for the clinical use of analgesics.

Pain Drug: Cannabidiol
Drug: Placebo
Phase 1
Phase 2

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Basic Science
Official Title: Characterization of the Analgesic Effects of Oral CBD in Healthy, Normal Volunteers

Primary Outcome Measures:

Secondary Outcome Measures:

  • Subjective drug effects related to abuse liability as measured by visual analog scales [ Time Frame: 2 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

    Participants rate the strength of the drug effect, drug liking, desire to take again, good effect and bad effect. Each item will be presented and the participant will be asked to rate his / her rating on a scale anchored by ‘Not At All’ (0 mm) to ‘Extremely’ (100 mm).

Estimated Enrollment: 18
Study Start Date: May 2016
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Active Comparator: Active CBD

Each subject will receive each active dose of cannabidiol, one active dose per 3 of the 4 study days. The active cannabidiol doses include 200, 400 and 800 mg of cannabidiol.

Drug: Cannabidiol

200, 400, or 800 mg Cannabidiol

Other Name: CBD

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

On 1 of the 4 study days, participants will receive placebo cannabidiol (0 mg)

Drug: Placebo

0 mg Cannabidiol

This within-subject, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will assess the analgesic and subjective effects of a range of CBD doses (0, 200, 400, or 800 mg, po). Volunteers will participate in 4 outpatient laboratory sessions over the course of 4 weeks during which the analgesic effects of CBD will be assessed using the Cold-Pressor Test (CPT), a laboratory model of pain which has predictive validity for the clinical use of analgesics. The order of CBD dose will be randomized across participants. Secondary measures will include subjective and physiologic effects of CBD.
